The answer is homeobox. A homeobox is a DNA sequence found within genes that are involved in the regulation of patterns of anatomical development morphogenesis in animals, fungi, and plants. An example of homeobox is the hox gene that determines the identity of embryonic regions along the anterio-posterior axis.
