You create a stable transgenic line of flies with an overexpression transgene that causes Ultrabithorax (Ubx) overexpression in the 2nd thoracic segment of a fly (“T2” in brown). Below is shown a wild type fly and a summary of some key genetic interactions that usually occur. Evaluate whether each statement below represents a logical outcome of this modification to T2 (true or false). Antp transcription will be inhibited in T2. Antp transcription will be released from inhibition in T3. Antp products will switch from promoting wing fate to haltere fate. T2 will grow a haltere instead of a wing. T3 will grow a wing instead of a haltere.
