You and a colleague in Brazil are studying mutations in parwhipples. You identify a mutant parwhipple that is missing antennae. Your colleague also identifies a mutant parwhipple that is missing antennae. You cross these 2 mutants and find that the offspring also do not have antennae. What does this mean? Group of answer choices: The mutations are in different genes They must carry the exact same mutation The same gene is mutated in each, but the mutations may be in different parts of the gene

Mutants 1 and 2 are mutations in rllA: both are point mutations. Mutants 3 and 4 are two non-overlapping mutations in rIIB: 3 is a deletion mutation and 4 is a point mutation. Mutant 5 is a deletion that overlaps mutants 2 and 3 but does not overlap mutants 1 and 4. Mutant 5 will fail to complement with any of the other 4 mutants. Mutant 5 won't be able to recombine with any of the other 4 mutants and produce wild-type recombinants.

You discover a new Drosophila mutant in which mouthparts are located where the antennae are normally found. You predict that the mutated gene is most likely a (a) homeotic gene (b) gap gene (c) pair-rule gene (d) maternal effect gene (e) segment polarity gene.
