A researcher discovers a new mutation in a Drosophila strain that causes bicoid mRNA to be evenly distributed throughout the egg cytoplasm instead of being localized at the anterior end, causing Bicoid protein to occur at high levels throughout the entire embryo. Using the simplified interaction network below, select all reasonable outcomes of this mutation in the progeny (true/false). Caudal will be inhibited throughout the embryo. Hunchback will be activated throughout the embryo. Kruppel will be inhibited throughout the embryo. The embryo will live a normal and healthy life and likely produce normal and healthy offspring.
