The extent of neurogenesis in Drosophila is under the control of the so-called neurogenic genes, named for their mutant phenotype of causing neural hyperplasia. Their wild-type products appear to be responsible for a signal chain that decides the fate of ectodermal cells in the embryo. Various kinds

โฆ Synopsis
The fruitJEy, Drosophila melanogaster, is an excellent organism for dissecting the components of vision genetically.
Many mutations have been generated thal affect a diversity of processes important in vision. Through a combined application of molecular and genetic approaches many of the genes important
in Drosophila vision are now being identified.
