Drosophila mutations such as bcd, if homozygous in the mother, produce offspring with lethal defects, no matter what the genotype of the offspring. For some other genes, the mutant phenotype can be "rescued" by introducing a wild-type allele into the embryo. What is the reason for these different outcomes?
◦ Non-rescuable mutations are of paternal origin.
◦ Rescuable mutations act as dominants.
bcd is a maternal effect mutation.
◦ Rescue requires recombination between the maternal and introduced alleles.
bcd is a Hox gene.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
