Determine the region(s) that express EVEN-SKIPPED.
-stripe 2

Determine in which parasegments EVEN-SKIPPED is normally expressed.
-3

Determine in which parasegments EVEN-SKIPPED would be expressed in a Kruppel mutant background.
-3
-4

Determine in which parasegments EVEN-SKIPPED would be expressed in a hunchback mutant background.
-diminished expression in parasegment 3

Determine in which parasegments EVEN-SKIPPED would be expressed in a giant mutant background.
-2
-3

Determine in which parasegments EVEN-SKIPPED would be expressed in a bicoid mutant background.
-in no parasegment


Most of this can be figured out from the figures if you look at where the slopes are in part b of the figures. Hope this helps!
