The segment in which the expression of the gene Antp would occur. Introduction: Genes are the basic and smallest unit of hereditary made up of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which stores genetic information and passes it on from parent to progeny. The term gene was first coined in 1909 by Wilhelm Johannsen. The expression of gene is a process through which the genetic information stored in a gene is used for the making of gene products, which are generally proteins.

In the module, you have learned about P-element mediated transgenesis in Drosophila and the concept of using transgenes to rescue mutant phenotypes. In the figure below, you will see a wild type fly with its natural eye colour and three mutants with their eye colours changed to vermillion, white and rosy, respectively. A schematic of P-element mediated transgenesis (as shown in the lectures) is also included in the figure. Please inspect the schematic carefully and choose which of the following statements is true: I. Injection of the white experimental transgene into the vermillion mutant embryo will not change the vermillion mutant phenotype II. Injection of the white experimental transgene in the rosy mutant embryo will change rosy eye colour to red (wild type) III. Injection of the white experimental transgene in the white mutant embryo will not change the white mutant phenotype IV. Injection of the white experimental transgene in the rosy mutant…
