Homeotic genes(A) encode transcription factors that control the expression ofgenes responsible for specific anatomical structures.(B) are found only in Drosophila and other arthropods.(C) are the only genes that contain the homeobox domain.(D) encode proteins that form anatomical structures in the fly.
The cloning experiments carried out on frogs demonstrated that (a) all differentiated frog cells are totipotent (b) some differentiated frog cells are totipotent (c) all nuclei from differentiated frog cells are totipotent (d) some nuclei from differentiated frog cells are totipotent (e) cell differentiation always requires the loss of certain genes
Absence of bicoid mRNA from a Drosophila egg leads to theabsence of anterior larval body parts and mirror-imageduplication of posterior parts. This is evidence that the productof the bicoid gene(A) normally leads to formation of head structures.(B) normally leads to formation of tail structures.(C) is transcribed in the early embryo.(D) is a protein present in all head structures.
