<hr />
<div>A homeobox is a [[DNA|DNA]] sequence around 160 bp long found within [[Gene|genes]]. Homeoboxes are found in animals, fungi, and plants. It is found within genes that are involved in the regulation of patterns of anatomical development (morphogenesis)<sup>[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeobox 1]]</sup>. In Ultrabithorax (homeobox gene found in the fruit fly),&nbsp;the UBX protein inhibits the expression of wing genes; if the inhibition is removed then the fruit fly will have an extra pair of wings.<br></div>180058903
