Question 2. Bicoid(bcd) is a maternal effect gene that functions in Drosophiladevelopment. (i) Describe the role of maternal effect genes. (ii) What will be the phenotype of a fruit fly that is homozygous for a mutated bicoidgene and why (bcd-)? (iii) Suppose that a male fruit fly that is homozygous for a mutated bicoidgene (bcd-) mated with a wild-type female. What would be the phenotype of the progeny and why? (iv) Suppose that a female fruit fly that is homozygous for a mutated bicoidgene (bcd-) mated with a wild-type male. What would be the phenotype of the progeny and why? (v) Suppose that a fruit fly larva was destined to develop two posterior ends. What could a researcher do to allow this larva to develop normally (wild-type phenotype)?

2.  Bicoid(bcd) is a maternal effect gene that functions

in Drosophiladevelopment. 

(i) Describe the role of maternal effect genes. 

(ii) What will be the phenotype of a fruit fly that is homozygous for a mutated bicoidgene and why (bcd–)?

(iii) Suppose that a male fruit fly that is homozygous for a mutated bicoidgene (bcd–) mated with a wild-type female.  What would be the phenotype of the progeny and why?

(iv) Suppose that a female fruit fly that is homozygous for a mutated bicoidgene (bcd–) mated with a wild-type male.  What would be the phenotype of the progeny and why?

(v) Suppose that a fruit fly larva was destined to develop two posterior ends.  What could a researcher do to allow this larva to develop normally (wild-type phenotype)?
