Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hey Lottie, I don't have any of them Hox genes. I have either Faded Glory from Walmart or Levi's.

For example, Hox genes help lay out the basic body forms of many animals, including humans, flies, and worms. They set up the head-to-tail organization.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hey there Mr. The bigger question is: according to your HOX genes, how many legs do you have? Do you have to buy 4 legged jeans? Or can you just buy two pair at a time? Barb > > > > I found this interesting about hox genes. We all have them, but > who has heard of them.
