Answer is A. A Hox gene
Hox genes are a series of genes that controls the differentiation of cells and tissues in an embryo by turn on and off other genes. If Hox genes express incorrectly, a major changes in the morphology of the individual can be seen.
Let’s understand this with an example: The Ultrabithorax, a Hox gene determines the Third thoracic segment in <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>. Third thoracic segment displays a pair of legs and a pair of reduced wings used for balancing. In the mutant<em> Drosophila</em> the functional Ultrabithorax protein is absent. Due to this mutation, the third thoracic segment now expresses the same structures found on the second thoracic segment, which contains a pair of legs and a pair of wings which are fully developed .
Ionic bonds are bond formed when cation and ion combined together is by transferring of electron so as to acquire Noble gas configuration
From question choice is
are held together by strong electrical forces and are able to dissolve in water
Mitosis produces an exact copy of the original containing the same 46 chromosomes as the original cell
Meiosis produces 4 individual sex cells ( gametes) with only 23 chromosomes in each. This is so when a sperm cell and and egg cell meet the combine to make 46 total chromosomes with genes from each parent
