There is twо pаrts tо this questiоn (1 аnd 2).  Answer eаch in turn and be sure to indicate to which part your answer refers... (8 points total) Drosophila that are heterozygous for bicoid (bicoid +/-) are mostly phenotypically normal.  Meanwhile bicoid deficient embryos, where bicoid has been removed or rendered non-functional, have abnormal anterior – posterior patterning; they lack normal formation of the anterior.  If two heterozygous (bicoid +/-) individuals are crossed, all of the offspring are phenotypically normal despite the fact that ¼ of the offspring are genetically homozygous for bicoid deficiency (bicoid -/-).  Using your knowledge of bicoid and genetic control of early developmental events, describe why this is the case (5 points). Even though this generation of offspring are phenotypically normal for the situation above, it is not the end of the story.  At what point will problems eventually arise for these bicoid -/- offspring?
