Unlike tetrapods or many other reptiles, snakes have no limbs. Analysis of
expression of their homeotic genes shows that for three types of homeotic genes, which
for convenience we will call HoxY (yellow), HoxB (blue), and HoxR (red) in the figure,
the pattern of expression is different in embryos of snakes than it is in reptilian tetrapod
embryos, including chick embryos. The arrows in the figure indicate the regions in the
embryo from which certain adult structures arise.
