Summary Introduction

To review:

The difference between the functions of the segmentation genes and the Hox genes of Drosophila.

Introduction:

The Drosophila life cycle proceeds from the egg that is fertilized into the embryo inside the egg. The embryo is then hatched from the egg and the life cycle begins, which is followed by the 3 larval stages toward the pupal, and then starts the adult stage. The developmental stages from egg to hatching is known as embryogenesis.
