Anand J.
Which of the following is false in regards to HOX genes? HOX genes control expression of body parts HOX genes are highly conserved regions of the genome they are genes that control how other genes will be expressed they are set up in an anterior to posterior axis gene duplications of HOX genes has led to a decrease in biological diversity over time

They are arranged in similar clusters of genes in both mice and flies. d. They are part of the so-called genetic toolkit. e.
