| Several genes involved in the regulation of chromatin structure were identified as regulators of homeotic gene complexes. |
| If a mutation occurs in the homeobox of any of the homeotic genes, an organism will not develop correctly. |
| The homeotic gene antennapedia is transcribed in embryonic tissues that give rise to a thorax, complete with legs. |
| In these plants, some sepals showed homeotic transformations to carpels, becoming fused and presenting ovules and stigmatic papillae. |
| The evolution of homeotic mutants, according to Simpson, still depended on selection acting on populations of individuals. |
| Mutation and overexpression of labial result in altered homeotic gene expression in the tritocerebrum. |
