genes relies on the existence of ovoD, a dominant female sterile mutation of the ovo gene, whichis located near the middle of the acrocentricDrosophila X chromosome. Females that are ovoD/ovo+ are sterile; ovoD-containing germ-line cellscannot produce eggs.a. Mutations in gene X are recessive lethals, so homozygotes for these mutations do not develop intoadults. Explain how researchers could use the ovoDmutation in a mitotic recombination experiment todetermine (i) whether or not females might supplythe RNA or protein product of gene X to the eggsthey make in their ovaries, and (ii) whether thismaternally supplied product is needed for properdevelopment of their progeny. Where in the genome would gene X need to be located for thisapproach to work?b. The ovoD mutant gene has been cloned, so genomicDNA for this mutant gene is available. How couldyou use this cloned DNA to determine whether any embryonic lethal mutation located anywhere in thegenome was an allele of a maternal effect…
