A homeobox gene controls the development of a specific structure in an organism. These gene sequences are found in many species (from flies to humans) and can indicate a very distant common ancestor, since one ancient species might have passed on one homebox gene to two separates species.

What is home-box gene?
A homeobox gene controls the development of a specific structure in an organism. These gene sequences are found in many species (from flies to humans) and can indicate a very distant common ancestor, since one ancient species might have passed on one homebox gene to two separates species.
Are hox genes found in bacteria?
Hox genes are a hallmark of multicellular life and are not found in bacteria. Hox genes are just one type of a larger family of gene called "homeobox genes" (watch out, they sound similar!). Bacteria have genes that resemble homeobox genes (Kant et al. 2002) but they're only distantly related to those in multicellular life (Derelle, 2007), and definitely don't have Hox genes. Both plants and animals have homeobox genes, including the subset called Hox genes. The homeobox genes were first found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and have subsequently been identified in many other species, from insects to reptiles and mammals.Homeobox genes were previously only identified in bilateria but recently cnidaria have also been found to contain homeobox domains and the "missing link" in the evolution between the two has been identified.Homeobox genes have even been found in fungi, for example the unicellular yeasts, and in plants.But no evidence of hox genes are found in bacteria
What do homeotic genes direct?
A homeotic gene, known as a Hox gene controls the development of metazoa or animal body segments. An exaple of a homeotic mutation that occured in Drosophilia would be a leg developing where an antenna would normally be located.

When one gene expresses itself over another the former gene is said to be the DNA?
The gene that expresses itself over the other is Dominant. The former gene is recessive.
