Probably not a germline mutation, looks like a signal pathway mutation that happened in the embryo
71 u/akrebsel 29d ago How can you tell? I’m taking a developmental biology course right now and am genuinely curious 17 u/ElSapio 29d ago Because it’s localized to one segment. Could be a gap gene or hedgehog problem 3 u/kgm2s-2 29d ago I'd guess hbox, based on the similarity to bicoid (but in reverse).
