BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Hox genes are critical regulators of embryonic development in bilaterian animals. They exhibit a unique mode of transcriptional regulation where the position of the genes along the chromosome corresponds to the time and place of their expression during development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hox proteins regulate other genes So different Hox proteins regulate different sets of genes, and combinations of Hox proteins working together to regulate still other sets of genes. As regulators of other genes, Hox proteins are very powerful. A single Hox protein can regulate the activity of many genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -As TFs, Hox proteins execute their function by interacting with DNA sequences in CRMs thereby regulating the expression of associated genes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hox genes are an evolutionary highly conserved gene family. They determine the anterior-posterior body axis in bilateral organisms and influence the developmental fate of cells.
