- Explain mRNA and protein products of maternal effect genes within the early embryo?arrow_forwarda) Do the loss of function phenotypes differ between the genes between the genes in figure 1? What does this mean? b) What are the two cell types responsible for producing maternal gene products involved in terminal patterning in the Drosophila cocyte? In which of these two cell types is each of the three genes expressed? c) Based on the phenotypes you observed for the three genes, and on the differences in their expression patterns, which one of the genes do you think is the localised determinant of terminal patterning? d❘ From the gain-of-function experiments, do trunk and torso like work upstream or downstream of torso? Explain. (4 m e) How might you test which of the trunk and torso-like genes acts upstream of the other? f) The torso gene has been shown to have another important role in Drosophila development outside of terminal patterning. What do you think would be a good first experiment to do to begin to investigate possible other roles for the trunk or torso - like genes?
