Show transcribed image text Some mutations on the transformer (tra) gene in Drosophila cause XX females to appear as males. In contrast, other mutations in tra cause XY male flies to appear as normal females. Which of these phenotypes would you expect if a mutation in tra resulted in a null mutation (non-functional)? Draw and describe.
