Homeobox genes are generally highly conserved and control similar phenotypic characters among distantly related organisms (2). However‚ they are also responsible for controlling different phenotypic characters

This is when humans‚ animals‚ and plants started the transition into agriculture and the population of all began to rise. What once thought of a good thing is now being questioned.

Although this gene does contribute greatly to the human comprehension of language it is not significant
