Week 7 - Differentiation/Seg/Vert Dev Flashcards
maternal genes
polarize embryo in DV and AP axes
gap and pair-rule genes
encoded TF that subdivide the AP axis
segment polarity genes
encode signaling and signal transduction proteins that control cell fates and coordinate cell actions
homeotic genes
encode TF that confer diff fates upon repeating body segments
5 classes of genes
maternal, gap, pair, segment hox (homeotic)
