Question: You conducted a genetic screen and isolated a mutant that has a transformation of segment 3 to a segment 2 identity. Use the above diagram to visualize this mutation. Which gene(s) do you expect is mutated?
Anterior Segment identity in normal embryo 1 Segment identity in mutant embryo 2. B 2 3 2 4 D 4 5 E 5 Posterior 6 6 Figure Description: Genes designated as A-E are expressed in different segments of the abstract vertebral columns. Each segment of the vertebral columns is annotated on the left and right of the figure. The right side circumvents the phenotype that arose from a defect in the Hox gene complex.
