Conservation and Preservation of
Biomes
Because we share the world with many other
species of
plants and
animals, we must consider the consequences of our
actions.

Drosophila geneticists started
sequencing the
DNA from the homeotic genes. Much to their surprise they found that all the homeotic genes contained a 180-basepair region.
