## Abstract A simple technique is described which allows the number of cells in the imaginal discs of __Drosophila melanogaster__ to be determined directly, by dissociation of the tissue into single cells. This technique was used to determine the growth rates for the eyeβantenna, wing, leg, and hal

Ribosomal DNA content has been determined in several adult and larval tissues of Drosophila melanogaster. Underreplication of rRNA genes was observed in polytenic salivary glands of larvae. On the contrary, polytenic/polyploid ovaries showed no decrease in rDNA. It is concluded that polyteny is not
