- In the late 1980s, this gradient hypothesis was united with a genetic approach to the study of Drosophila embryogenesis. If there were gradients, what were the morphogens whose concentrations changed over space?arrow_forwardGunter Korge examined several proteins that are secreted from the salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster during larval development . One protein, called protein fraction 4, was encoded by a gene found by deletion mapping to be located on the X chromosome at position 3C. Korge observed that, about 5 hours before the first synthesis of protein fraction 4, an expanded and puffed-out region formed on the X chromosome at position 3C. This chromosome puff disappeared before the end of the third larval instar stage, when the synthesis of protein fraction 4 ceased. He observed that there was no puff at position 3C in a special strain of flies that lacked secretion of protein fraction 4. Explain these results. What is the chromosome puff at region 3, and why does its appearance and disappearance roughly coincide with the secretion of protein fraction 4?arrow_forwardYou isolate a glp-1 mutation of C. elegans and discover that the DNA region encoding the spatial control region (SCR) has been deleted.
