Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of genes that are necessary to specify a complete developmental network for a fruit fly.

Introduction: It is observed that developmental genetics depends on the regulation and expression of a complex network of genes through transcription factors. In Drosophila, such a network is seen to regulate the body plan and the morphological structures of the organism.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of genes that are needed for a network to specify one segment.

Introduction: It is observed that developmental genetics depends on the regulation and expression of a complex network of genes through transcription factors. In Drosophila, such a network is seen to regulate the body plan and the morphological structures of the organism.

Dominguez et al. (2004) suggest that by studying genes that determine growth and tissue specification in the eye of Drosophila, much can be learned about human eye development. (a) What evidence suggests that genetic eye determinants in Drosophila are also found in humans? Include a discussion of orthologous genes in your answer. (b) What evidence indicates that the eyeless gene is part of a developmental network?
What changes, if any, would you predict would occur in the pigmentation of Drosophila melanogaster with increased global warming? What type of genetic changes would you expect to see? Be as specific as you can.
How have we discovered that specific genes control development in an organism like Drosophila?
