Show transcribed image text Using a diagram of exons and introns, describe the regulation of tra in males and female flies. Germ-plasm is a special cytoplasm that is necessary for the development of the germ cells in the Drosophila embryo. Also, germ-plasm is maternally encoded. Germ-plasm mutants are sometimes called "grand childless" mutants by Drosophila geneticists intent on confusing the rest of us. However, they are correct; what are they talking about? Why would animals as diverse as mice, humans, and Drosophila have maintained nearly identical Hox genes? From the experimental analysis of the Distal-less cis acting sequence in Fig 13-22 of your text, explain what each of the 6 identified sequences in the cis acting sequence does.
