Problem 1: Definition of a homeotic gene
Correct!
Homeotic genes:
A.
|
Determine the developmental fate of groups of cells in segments of an
organism
Pattern formation is essential to the development of all organisms. Once the basic pattern of a developing organism has been established, homeotic genes tell each segment what to develop into.
|
B.
|
Are unique to the development of flies and worms
|
C.
|
Regulate the metabolism of lactose in prokaryotic cells
|
D.
|
Regulate the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
|
