Verified
Each homeobox codes for a protein functional region that binds to a specific DNA sequence and thereby affects translation.
Homeobox
A short (180-nucleotide) DNA sequence that characterizes many homeotic genes as well as some other genes that play a role in development.
Translation
The process in which ribosomes synthesize proteins using the mRNA transcript as a template.
