Homeobox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (486 words)
A homeobox (or homoeobox) is a DNA sequence found within genes that are involved in the regulation of development (morphogenesis) of animals, fungi and plants.
Genes that have a homeobox are called homeobox genes and form the homeobox gene family.
Plants and animals do not share the same homeotic genes, and this suggests that homeotic genes were evolved once in the early evolution of animals and once again in the early evolution of plants.
