Its phenotypes, such as those resulting from mutations studied by Thomas Hunt Morgan, include, white eyes, yellow or ebony bodies, or having legs on its head in place of antenna.
Like slime molds, this organism's blastoderm develops as a syncytium, a cell containing many nuclei, which facilitates the injection of DNA into its nuclei. Its salivary glands contain polytene chromosomes, which have distinctive patterns of dark and light bands, and form chromosome puffs in sections where gene transcription is occurring, allowing visualization of gene activity. Its phenotypes, such as those resulting from mutations studied by Thomas Hunt Morgan, include, white eyes, yellow or ebony bodies, or having legs on its head in place of antenna. For 10 points, name this insect of genus Drosophila, a model organism in biology.
