What type of gene is master control gene that directs development of body parts in specific locations in many organisms?

In the control of gene expression in bacteria a regulatory gene a has its own promoter?
No
Can a single gene control a single trait.?
It was once believed that one gene controls one trait, so it is possible. Currently, the belief is that one gene can interact with other genes to control a trait, and that one gene can control more than one trait.
What is a gene regulation?
The regulator gene produces repressor protein.
What control organism trait?

What turns a gene off?
The presence of a control substance that can [reversibly, usually] bind to a Gene-On-Off location within the Dna. Turning a Gene Off can also involve the Absence of a Control Factor.
What happens when there are changes in a gene?
The protein that the gene codes for changes or may even cease to be produced, depending on the change to the gene.
What are the master control genes?
Well, inside the cell, chemicals activate the control gene (which is just one specific gene). The gene tells the cell what structures they should become and when. Also the control gene switches on dozens of other genes in the cell, and it also controls the other cells in time and space.
Do the gene control the characteristics of a living thing?
No
What are three main types of gene mutations what happens in each gene?
They are Substitution, Insertion, and Deletion.
Can a single gene control a sigle trait?
Its possible. A single gene defines a single protein.
Benefits of medical treatments that control gene expression?
I would guess that if a gene is not functioning normally then controlling the expression of that gene would be beneficial.
