The anterior posterior compartment of each segment of drosophila is defined by wingless and engrailed genes. The following statements are given towards explaining their regulation:

A.cells secreting Hedgehog protein activate wingless expression in their neighbors, and the Wingless protein signal, which is received by the cells that secreted Hedgehog, serves to maintain hedgehog (hh) expression.

B.Engrailed protein also acts in an autocrine fashion, maintaining its own expression.

C.The cells expressing engrailed can bind wingless protein because they contain Frizzled, which is the Drosophila membrane receptor protein for Wingless.

D.Binding of Wingless to Frizzled activates the hedgehog signal transduction pathway, resulting in the continued expression of engrailed.

You and your lab partner have isolated 20 new mutant yeast strains that are defective in synthesis of threonine, an amino acid. These Thr- mutants do not grow on minimal medium, but they do grow on minimal medium supplemented with threonine. Ten of your Thr- mutants (numbered 1 through 10) were isolated in a strain of mating type a (MAT a). The other 10 Thr mutants (numbered 11 through 20) were isolated in a strain of mating type α (MAT α). You and your lab partner cross each of the MAT a strains to each of the MAT α strains, and you include crosses to the appropriate wild-type strains. Your experimental observations are shown in the table below, where (-) indicates diploids that did not grow on minimal medium and (+) indicates diploids that did grow on minimal medium.

Which mutations are recessive?
