Multiple Choice
If mutagenizing a number of Drosophila results in several observable phenotypes but also in several lethal mutations, does this mean that recessive lethal mutations cannot be studied further?
A) No-the lethal allele can be recovered from heterozygous siblings.
B) No-the lethal allele can be sequenced from the other embryos.
C) Yes-lethal alleles can be studied only if they are recessive.
D) Yes-lethal alleles can be studied only if they are conditional.
E) Yes-unless the lethal allele can be supplemented with a missing gene product.
