Abstract
The striking phenomenon of homeosis, in which one body part is substituted for another, was described and named in Drosophila more than a century ago (Bateson, 1894). Homeobox genes have been intensively studied, particularly in recent years, as advances in understanding of the molecular genetic basis for homeosis captured the interest and imagination of developmental biologists. It is now clear that homeotic genes function as master regulators, determining the developmental pathway and cell fate of individual Drosophila segments.
