SAME TRIGGERS. "Mammals and arthropods both display a striking diversity of morphologies within each of their body plans, but this diversity is generated chiefly by genes active after the Hox-cluster genes have done their work." https://lnkd.in/dx4KvtT View in LinkedIn

VARIABLE HOX PLANS. "It looks very much as if the Hox clusters become larger with increasing body plan complexity, although this cannot be the entire story. Some primitive forms have clusters unlike the Hox cluster of higher forms." https://lnkd.in/dx4KvtT View in LinkedIn

HOX COMPONENT GENES. "The number of genes in the Hox cluster varies among animal phyla. Sponges, the most primitive of animals, have at least one Hox gene, whereas arthropods have eight. In mammals, the cluster has been repeatedly duplicated to form four clusters, all slightly different, with a total of 38 genes." https://lnkd.in/dx4KvtT View in LinkedIn

BODY PLAN REGULATORY GENES. "Obviously such sophisticated control systems were not needed in the single-celled ancestors of animals, and thus their evolution is intimately associated with the establishment and initial elaboration of animal body plans." https://lnkd.in/dx4KvtT View in LinkedIn

HOX CLUSTER. "In arthropods, the first genes in the cluster mediate the expression of the head and associated structures, those in the middle of the cluster control genes that produce legs and wings on appropriate body segments, and so on." https://lnkd.in/dx4KvtT View in LinkedIn

RAPID ADOPTION. "Not only has Instagram become an important social media site and a central part of the popular culture, but the speed with which it has achieved this is also particularly notable." https://lnkd.in/dffrpRZ View in LinkedIn

MEDIA-RICH. "Many children’s bedrooms are media-rich environments—a growing proportion of children have computers in bedroom with online access. Highly motivated to create a separate autonomous space where children can experiment and develop their personality, youngsters seek to evade parental control." https://lnkd.in/d8-nHvR View in LinkedIn

AGENT OF CHANGE. "Instagram attracted over 100 million users in under two years from its launch, underlining how quickly this social media platform attracted users." https://lnkd.in/dffrpRZ View in LinkedIn

CHANGED COMMUNICATION. "Syntax aside, social media has also prompted a more subtle revolution in the way we communicate. We share more personal information, but also communicate with larger audiences. Our communication styles consequently become more informal and more open, and this seeps into other areas of life and culture." https://lnkd.in/dBD8zjV View in LinkedIn

DIFFUSION OF WORDS. "Because of social media, words are moving around the world within weeks and months, whereas before, it could take a few years." https://lnkd.in/dKdj57e View in LinkedIn
