All of the following statements about homeotic genes are correct except group of answer choices homeotic genes were first identified in invertebrates, but their homologues were found in almost all organisms. all homeotic genes contain consensus sequence that result in specific dna-binding motif. in vertebrates, homeotic genes are organized into two distinct clusters. all homeotic genes encode transcription factors that direct further gene expression. homeotic genes exhibit a relationship between their order on the chromosome and the timing of their expression.
