During its development, theanterior is specified by hunchback and bicoid and the posterior by nanos and caudal.
In this organism, the MSL complex localizes to the X chromosome. During its development, theanterior is specified by hunchback and bicoid and the posterior by nanos and caudal. Gap genesactivate pair-rule genes in their larvae, and lines of them carrying some recessive lethal mutationsare maintained using the TM3 balancer. This organism's salivary glands are a source of polytenechromsomes, and a common transposon in these organisms is the P-element. Mutants of thisorganism include ones with forked (*) bristles, bar-shaped eyes, and white eyes. This organism was usedto create the first linkage maps by Alfred Surtevant, a student Thomas Hunt Morgan. For 10 points, identifythis common model organism, an insect more commonly known as the fruit fly.
