Describe in detail the role and action of two of the gap genes involved in the anterior-posterior axis formation in Drosophila. BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE FOR FULL CREDIT.
Ans- Gap gene is involved in the segmentation of the body mainly it form the 3 segments in body .Name of some gap genes are - Hunchback , Huckbein, Kruppel , Knirps , Giant , Tailless etc.Hunchback is the premier gap gene of the segmentation regulatory network. It coordinates the expression of other gap genes, including Kruppel (Kr), knirps (kni), and giant (gt) in central and posterior regions of cellularizing embryos. The maternal affect gene Bicoid and the gap gene Hunchback collectively controls the development of anterior region . The gap gene named tailless controls terminal genes that results in normal development of head and posterior ..
