Embryological Evidence of Evolution — Summary & Examples

The image displays a fly with different segments color coded to specific HOX genes. The head is pink, the first segment is orange, the second segment is green, and the rear is blue. Beside the fly is a human baby.

You are studying HOX genes in a fly. You know that specific sections of the HOX genes correspond to specific parts of the fly. Knowing what you know about HOX genes, which parts of a human baby would be developed by homologous HOX genes, as marked by the color coding?
