Homeobox genes are a large family of similar genes that direct the formation of many body structures during early embryonic development. In humans, the homeobox gene family contains an estimated 235 functional genes and 65 pseudogenes (structurally similar genes that do not provide instructions for making proteins).
Palindromes. A palindrome is a sequence of letters and/or words, that reads the same forwards and backwards.  able was I ere I saw elba  is a palindrome. Palindromes also occur in DNA.There are two types.. Palindromes that occur on opposite strands of the same section of DNA helix. 5' GGCC 3' 3' CCGG 5'. This type of palindrome serves as the target for most restriction enzymes. The graphic shows the palindromic sequences seen by five restriction enzymes (named in blue) commonly used in recombinant DNA work.
Gene mutation is the change in the DNA sequence that is permanent  and leads to new genetic traits and even diseases. This type of  mutation is triggered through hereditary â¦ process or through several  factors in the environment. permanent change in the gene's DNA sequence. Gene mutations involving one or a few nuckeotides is called point mutation. If a nucleotide is added or deleted, the bases are s â¦ till read in groups of three, but now those groupings are shifted for every codon that follows. This is called frameshift mutation.
