question 7

Multiple Choice

How do genetic mosaics help determine the focus of action of a gene?

• A)Mosaics are composed of cells with different genotypes, so the phenotype of the cells that lack a gene product can be compared to that of neighboring cells that have the gene product.
• B)Mosaics are created by mating flies that are homozygous recessive for two different genes and the morphology of the double mutant progeny is studied.
• C)Mosaics are created by mating two flies that carry homozygous gain-of-function mutations in different genes and the effects of the mutations on the morphology studied.
• D)Mosaics are created by the Cre-loxP system which allows for the deletion of specific genes at controlled stages of development.
