Homologous Hox Genes
Genes found in the genomes of many organisms that are responsible for determining the basic structure and orientation of an organism's body plan.
Dorsal-Ventral Patterning
The process by which cells during development become organized and specialized across the back (dorsal) to front (ventral) axis of an organism, critical for proper anatomical formation.
