(1) If all three Bithorax complex genes are deleted, how would you expect the segments of the larva to develop? The segments are written in anterior to posterior order.

A.  T1 T2 T3 A1 A2 A3 A4 A4 A4 A4 A4

B.  T1 T2 T3 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1

C. T1 T2 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3

D. T1 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2

(2) If Ultrabithorax is added back to the embryo (but abdA and abdB are still gone), how would you expect the segments of the larva to develop? The segments are written in anterior to posterior order.

A. T1 T2 T3 A1 A2 A3 A4 A4 A4 A4 A4

B. T1 T2 T3 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1

C. T1 T2 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3 T3

D. T1 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2 T2
