A hypothetical cell lineage is shown here.
a.
A gene, which we will call gene X, is activated in the B-1 cell, so the B-1 cell will progress through the proper developmental stages to produce three nerve cells (D-1, D-2, and D-3) and one muscle cell (D-4). Gene X is normally inactivated in A-1, C-1, and C-2 cells, as well as the four D cells. Draw the expected cell lineages if a heterochronic mutation had the following effects:
a. Gene X is turned on one cell division too early
b. Gene X is turned on one cell division too late.
