Abstract

This review discusses relationship between the composition and expression of the Hox genes and morphological differentiation in the crustacean species as shown by morphological changes from the ancestral body plan that are linked to adaptation. Research findings suggest that a well-defined morphological change cannot be correlated wih a any single genetic change.
