Pattern formation is a central process in embryology. It involves the development of specific arrangements or structures within an organism. Three examples of pattern formation include the formation of body segments in a developing embryo, the arrangement of leaves on a plant, and the distribution of pigmentation in an animal's fur or skin. In each of these examples, the "pattern" refers to the specific arrangement or distribution of cells, tissues, or structures that need to be generated during development.

Pattern formation is a central process in embryology. Please describe, in your own words, three examples of pattern formation and explain what the "pattern" is that needs to be generated.
Describe the pattern of expression of Hox genes along the anterior posterior axis of developing vertebrates and how this correlates with the location of the Hox genes in the genome.
