(CNN)Wendy Williams is not the woman she used to be -- and she's not going back. The talk show host has shed 50 lbs and recently told E! that she's keeping the weight off. I did it on my own and I love it because I no longer have to do that fight with clothing, Williams said.
Hox gene. n. Any of a group of homeobox genes that exist as clusters in animals, especially in vertebrates, and determine the identity and locations of body parts along the anterior-posterior body axis in a developing fetus or larva. [From h(omeob)ox .].
3) Homeotic genes are expressed within segmented and unsegmented structures within the body plan. Hox gene expression in some unsegmented structures arise from segmented precursors. The specification of segmented structures may be due to a specific combination of homeotic genes (or Hox Code).n vertebrates, the main evidence of segmentation is in the vertebral column. The head, the fore-and hindlimbs are later adaptations onto the early vertebrate skeleton. The earliest expression studies focused on the expression of hox genes in the prevertebra of mid-gestation embryos.
