    regulatory genes controlling body plan and organ development

    Homeobox genes, often referred to as Hox genes, are a group of regulatory genes that play a crucial role in determining the body plan and the formation of tissues and organs during early embryonic development. They contain a specific DNA sequence called the homeobox, which encodes a protein domain (the homeodomain) that can bind to DNA and regulate the expression of other genes. This precise regulation ensures that body structures form in the correct locations.
