What is the relationship between a hox gene position on a chromosome and the physical appearance of an organism

Biology
1 answer:
blsea [12.9K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  

Hox genes are thus a subset of the homeobox transcription factor genes. In many animals, the organization of the Hox genes in the chromosome is the same as the order of their expression along the anterior-posterior axis of the developing animal, and are thus said to display colinearity.

Explanation:

Hox genes, a subset of homeobox genes, are a group of related genes that specify regions of the body plan of an embryo along the head-tail axis of animals. Hox proteins encode and specify the characteristics of 'position', ensuring that the correct structures form in the correct places of the body.

Chromosomes are thread-like structures present in the nucleus, which carries genetic information from one generation to another. They play a vital role in cell division, heredity, variation, mutation, repair and regeneration.

What is the major different between the particles in a liquid and a gas of the same substance at the same temperature? a The par
MakcuM [25]

The major difference between the particles in a liquid and a gas of the same substance at the same temperature is that; the particles in the gas are moving faster than the particles in the liquid.

There are three states of matter which are;

  • Solid
  • Liquid
  • Gas

The difference between the states of matter lies in;

  • Degree of inter molecular interaction between molecules in a given state of matter
  • Kinetic energy of the molecules in a given state of matter.

Liquid molecules or particles are slower than gas particles because liquid particles have a greater degree of inter molecular interaction than gas particles.

So, the difference between a liquid and a gas at the same temperature is that; "the particles in the gas are moving faster than the particles in the liquid".

A pond contains many different types of organisms. The table below lists some of these organisms and their methods of reproducti
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Option A, Pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction

Explanation:

Genetics variation allows as organism to evolve in a way to be able to cope up with the existing or changing environmental condition. Now, a Pantala flavescens undergoes sexual reproduction, thus only this creature has the ability among all the given organism to evolve genetically and be able to survive in this environment.  All the remaining organisms reproduce asexually and hence there is no variation with in them and hence it would be difficult for these organisms to cope up with changing environment.

Hence, option A is correct.
