Homeotic gene

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Homeotic genes are a group of genes that control the pattern of body formation during early embryonic development of organisms.These genes encode transcription factors that determine the identity of body segments along the anterior-posterior axis.In $Drosophila$,mutations in homeotic genes can lead to homeotic transformations,where one body part is replaced by another,such as the development of legs in place of wings (e.g.,the $Antennapedia$ mutation).Therefore,the correct answer is $D$.

List-$I$ (Type of Inheritance)	List-$II$ (Example)
$A$. Incomplete dominance	$I$. Blood groups in human
$B$. Co-dominance	$II$. Flower colour in Antirrhinum
$C$. Pleiotropy	$III$. Skin colour in human
$D$. Polygenic inheritance	$IV$. Phenylketonuria

In $Drosophila$,during organ differentiation,if one organ is transformed into another (e.g.,legs instead of wings),what is the gene responsible for such transformation called?
