1. Summarize the interactions that lead to the proper expression of eve stripe 2, starting with the maternal expression of bcd. Include hb, Kr, and giant.
2. Describe how reporter genes experiments are complementary to in vivo gene expression characterization like ISH and IHC.
3. What is the spatial relationship of parasegments and segments in the Drosophila embryo, and why is it important for the adult fly to maintain?
4. Much attention has been paid to the process of segmentation in the Drosophila embryo. What are segments, and what is their significance to the strategy used by Drosophila to carryout pattern formation. Do humans have segments? Give examples. (Ch 2, Q2)
5. Describe the signaling events that maintain segment compartments throughout the life of the fly.
6. What is meant by a homeotic transformation? Give an example. (Ch 2, Q11).
