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.

Write a pragraph summarizing the main functions of the digestive system. Will give branliest.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system.

The small intestine has three parts. The first part is called the duodenum. The jejunum is in the middle and the ileum is at the end. The large intestine includes the appendix, cecum, colon, and rectum. The appendix is a finger-shaped pouch attached to the cecum. The cecum is the first part of the large intestine. The colon is next. The rectum is the end of the large intestine.

Which of the following terms is used to describe what causes organisms to react to their environment?
lara [203]
Answer: homeostasis.

Homeostasis is the regulation of the functions of some internal conditions as reaction to changes in the environment.

For example, although the external temparuture changes the matabolism is capable to keep the temperauture of the body constants through homeostasis.

That does not happen with the cold blooded animals. If you put a small frog very close to a hot ligthed bulb, its blood will not be able to keep it cool and it will  dry completely.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Homologous genes that are highly conserved.

Explanation:

Phylogenetic trees are diagrams that represent evolutionary relationship between organisms.

It is set to represent the hypothesis that a set of species evolved fro the same ancestor.

Anatomical similarities are considered in the construction of the trees.

However , two organisms can be placed in the same tree by comparing their  genes.

If the two eukaryotes have genes that are highly conserved that similar.
