A transcription factor, Prx1, is essential for forelimb growth in mammals. The forelimbs of mice are legs and the forelimbs of bats are wings

If the enhancer region of Prx1 in mice is replaced with the enhancer region of the bat Prx1, the resulting fore-limbs of the transformed mice are 6% longer than normal. Explain this result. What will be an ideal response?
