The Drosophila orthodenticle gene and the vertebrate Otx genes are homologous and provide a good example of the conservation of gene function during evolution. Which of the following statement is correct regarding to the expression of gene expression.

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Orthodenticle is expressed in the posterior region of the future Drosophila brain. In mice, Otx1 and Otx2 are expressed in overlapping domains in the developing forebrain and midbrain.
  2. Orthodenticle is expressed in the anterior region of the future Drosophila brain. In mice, Otx is expressed in overlapping domains in the developing forebrain.
  3. Orthodenticle is expressed in the posterior region of the future Drosophila brain. In mice, Otx1 and Otx2 are expressed in the developing limb.
  4. Orthodenticle is expressed in the proximal region of the future Drosophila limb. In mice, Otx1 and Otx2 are expressed in the developing limb.

The Dictyostelia social amoebas are found in a wide range of soil habitats. They can come together to form a fruiting structure, in which a proportion of cells are sacrificed to build the stalk and the remainder differentiate into resilient dormant spores. This multicellular life cycle is common to all Dictyostelids. It consists of an interconnected programme of cell movement and cell differentiation, and has been intensively studied in the model organism D. discoideum. Few mutants (Column A) and phenotypes (Column B) are listed in the table given below.

    Column A

    Column B

A. Loss of function of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)

i. cell develop normally but unable to germinate

B. Loss of function of RegA

ii. Loose aggregate form

C. Loss of function of adenylate cyclase B

iii. No aggregation

D. Loss of function of gp80

iv. accumulation of cAMP and PKA activation

 Match the correct mutant with the observed phenotype.
