Heat shock of 37 degrees C applied to Drosophila embryos at blastoderm stage induces phenocopies of some dominant mutants of the bithorax complex. Heat shock might shut down functions of cis regulator genes involved in embryonic pattern formation.
## Abstract There are 5 tarsomeres in the normal cockroach leg, but this number is often reduced in regenerated legs. In order to examine this complicated situation, foreβ, midβ, and hindlegs of German cockroaches were amputated at 11 different tarsal levels and at 18 different times during the las
