The gene Hoxb1 is close to the 3ʹ end of a Hox gene complex.Where in a vertebrate embryo might expression of Hoxb1 occur?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hox gene complex is responsible for specifying the identity of different segments in a developing embryo. Hoxb1 is located close to the 3ʹ end of this complex, and its expression is typically restricted to the anterior portion of the embryo, particularly in the hindbrain and neural crest cells. Therefore, choice A is the best answer.
