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.
