  5. We will cover this material later in the course. Boxes 3E and 4B

  6. setting up left-right asymmetry Figs. 3.41, 3.42

  7. 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 are not very important for us. These cover the timing and patterning of somite development = somitogenesis.

  8. wild-type fruit fly antennapedia mutant Box 4A

  9. The Hox gene family are examples of homeotic genes. Homeotic genes are genes that when mutant cause a change in the spatial position of structures (change in address). wild-type fruit fly antennapedia mutant Box 4A

  10. The Hox gene family are examples of homeotic genes. Homeotic genes are genes that when mutant cause a change in the spatial position of structures (change in address). Box 4A

  11. The Hox gene family are examples of homeotic genes. The Hox gene products give the positional address along the Anterior-Posterior (A/P) axis in all animals. Box 4A

  12. The Hox gene family are examples of homeotic genes. The Hox genes encode a family of paralogous proteins that are sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factors.

  13. The Hox gene family are examples of homeotic genes. The Hox proteins bind to response elements in the promoter DNA of target genes. The DNA-binding domain of the protein is called the homeodomain:
