Hox genes: function in patterning the body axis. Thus by providing the identity of particular body regions. Hox genes determine where lims and other body segments will grow in a developing fetus or larva. Mutations in any of these genes can lead to the growth of extra typically non-functional body parts in invertebrates.

If somebody else have a better explanation please lket's share.
