Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these genes (Gap genes, Pair-rule genes, Segment polarity genes) play crucial roles in the segmentation of the anterior-posterior axis during embryonic development in Drosophila and other segmented organisms. Each type of gene functions at a different level of the segmentation hierarchy to establish the segmented body plan.
