If a HOX gene is mutated, it can lead to significant developmental abnormalities, as these genes are crucial for determining the body plan and the identity of body segments during embryonic development. Mutations can result in improper formation of limbs, organs, and other structures, potentially causing congenital disorders or malformations. In some cases, such mutations can also disrupt normal cellular functions, leading to diseases, including cancer. The specific effects depend on which HOX gene is affected and the nature of the mutation.
What else can I help you with?
Differentiation of cells and tissues in the embryo is controlled by what?
hox gene (Yes i have e2020)
How can mutation in gene lead to a new trait in an organism?
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
What is muteins?
protein that is a product of expression of a gene that was mutated.
What gene controls the expression of the D1x gene in vertebrates?
The D1x gene is controlled by the Pou4f1 gene in vertebrates. Pou4f1 is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of D1x in the developing nervous system.
What does it mean by a gene being mutated?
A mutated gene is a gene that has undergone a change in its DNA sequence. This change can alter the function of the gene, affecting how proteins are made or regulated, which can lead to differences in traits or diseases.
What is another word for Hox genes?
Hox genes are a type of homeotic gene. They can be called body plan genes.
Part of a strand of DNA with regulatory sequences?
hox gene
What happens to an organism if they have a mutation in their hox gene?
Morphological development is disrupted and the body plan, from dorsal to ventral and front to back, of the organism is not laid down properly. Mutations in the Hox genes of fruit flies are classic examples here. Legs growing where antenna ought to be and two headed embryos are usual examples of Hox gene mutation.
What is a changed gene?
mutated
What role do hox genes play in development of an organism?
Hox genes control the differentiation of cells and tissues in the embryo. A mutation of a hox gene can completely change the organs that develop in specific parts of the body.
What role do the hox genes play in the development of an organism?
Hox genes control the differentiation of cells and tissues in the embryo. A mutation of a hox gene can completely change the organs that develop in specific parts of the body.

What most mutated genes are which cause human disorders?
A mutated gene is just a gene that doesn't have the correct DNA or alleles.. Depending of the human disorder the gene that is mutated will be different... We use genes throughout our bodies but ALL genes can cause human disorders but there is NO single gene that, when mutated, creates ALL genetic modification...
Why are most mutations in eukaryotes recessive?
Most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive because they typically involve changes in a single gene, and the presence of a normal copy of the gene can often mask the effects of the mutated gene. This means that the mutated gene is only expressed when both copies of the gene are mutated, resulting in a recessive trait.
How can mutation in gene lead to a new trait in an organism?
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
What is muteins?
protein that is a product of expression of a gene that was mutated.
What gene controls the expression of the D1x gene in vertebrates?
