What is another word for regulator gene?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈɛɡjuːlˌe͡ɪtə d͡ʒˈiːn] (IPA) 
A regulator gene, also known as a control gene, is responsible for controlling the activity of other genes within an organism. There are several synonyms used to describe this type of gene, including master genes, regulatory genes, and homeotic genes. Master genes are those that control the development of an entire organ or body part, while regulatory genes control the timing and expression of other genes. Homeotic genes are particularly important in regulating embryonic development, as they are responsible for guiding the growth and differentiation of various cell types. Regardless of the term used, all of these genes play a critical role in regulating gene expression and ultimately, the overall development and function of an organism.
