The answer is hox gene.

Hox genes are responsible for an embryo's body plan. They determine different body structures - legs, vertebrae, antennae, wings, depending on groups. Mutation in hox genes is serious mutation since it affects the early stages of embryo and consequently, normal development. If a mutation occurs in the hox gene for legs growth, the legs will not develop.

The degree to which chromatin is compacted greatly affects its accessability for ____________ , and thus, gene expression.
iVinArrow [24]

The degree to which chromatin is compacted greatly affects its accessibility for transcription, and thus, gene expression.

<h3>What is Transcription?</h3>

This is the process which involves copying a segment of DNA into RNA in organisms.

When chromatin is condensed, DNA becomes less accessible for transcription factors and vice versa which was why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

hershey and chase confirmed that dna, not protein, was the genetic material. how do the results of their two experiments support
Gwar [14]

Hi,

Harshey and Chase did a great experimentation which was basically a two step experiment to prove that DNA and not proteins are the actual carriers of genetic information from parents to offspring.

  • In the first part of their experiment, they used bacteriophages (virus that eat bacteria). They used radioactively labeled sulphur(35S) medium to grow bacteriophages and observed that all the bacteriophages had proteins with radioactive sulphur(35S).
  • In the next step they allowed these phages to infect bacteria and to their surprise, they found that the bacteria did not had radioactively labeled sulphur in them because the coat of bacteriophage stays outside the body of bacteria when it attacks it. This proved that DNA not proteins were the hereditary material.
  • To make their results more reliable, they did a second experimentation in which, they marked the DNA of the phage with radioactive phosphorus 32P. After labeling DNA, they repeated the same experiment and this time, they found radioactive phosphorus inside the bacteria.

<em>This meant that the bacteria had DNA of phage entered inside them and this again proved that DNA not proteins are the hereditary material. You can see attached image for better understanding. </em>

Hope it help!
