Hox genes are activated in specific regions of the body (e.g. back of the head) and activate other genes to build specific structures in those regions.  This was largely discovered by looking at the effects of mutants of the various hox genes.  What other technique would provide information on the action of hox genes? Group of answer choices A. copy hox genes and place them in bacteria B. copy hox genes and place them in plants C. completely remove all hox genes from the genome D. change the control of hox genes so that they are expressed in different body regions E. reverse the order of the hox genes on the chromosome
