The Drosophila (fruit fly) gene parc is involved in locomotion (movement) and is highly expressed in neurons throughout the larval and adult stages but is not expressed during embryonic/egg or pupal stages. The gene, parc, codes for an ATPase - PARC - required for the release of neurotransmitter. You are studying the role of PARC in locomotion using a mutant allele, parcHS. The protein encoded by the parcHS allele functions identically to wild-type PARC at temperatures below but above the mutant protein becomes inactive. You are comparing PARC activity levels between wild-type and mutant flies. You have collected samples under the following conditions: - Condition 1 - PARC activity levels at embryonic/egg stage at 22C from both wild-type and mutant flies - Condition 2 - PARC activity levels from embryonic/egg stage at 36C from both wild-type and mutant flies - Condition 3 - PARC activity levels at adult stage at 22C from both wild-type and mutant flies - Condition 4 - PARC activity levels at adult stage at from both wild-type and mutant flies How would the PARC activity levels in mutants compare to wildtype flies in each condition (e.g., lower activity in mutants vs wildtype, or higher activity in mutants vs
