Which developmental defect occurs when imaginal disc cells express inappropriate Hox genes?

💡 Explanation

When imaginal disc cells misexpress Hox genes, positional identity is changed in specific regions because these genes pattern the body plan, leading to appendage alterations or partial body part duplication. Therefore partial дуплиication arises, rather than aplasia, pigmentation changes, or widespread cell death which involve different genetic regulatory defects.
