Antennapedia

Antennapedia , still called ANT-C, is a gene HOX of the Drosophile which controls the placement of the legs. It is related to chromosome III. A loss of the function by change in the area of regulation of this Gène can give as result the conversion of the second pair of legs into antennas Ectopique S. This is only one illustration of the tendency of the organizations with exhiber of the variations on a topic, in modulated repetition. The legs and the antennas are in the same way dependant that are to it the molars and the incisors or that fingers and inches, arms and legs. On the contrary, the Allèle S of gene defining the profit of the function convert the antennas into ectopic legs.
