A protein discovered in this organism binds to a pair of SH3 domains on GRB2 in the MAP kinase pathway, where it serves as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras.
A protein discovered in this organism binds to a pair of SH3 domains on GRB2 in the MAP kinase pathway, where it serves as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras. That protein was found to activate downstream of another gene in this organism necessary for proper development of the R7 photoreceptor. The polarity of this organism's oocytes are determined by maternal effect genes, such as (*) bicoid and hunchback. A transposon found in this organism is called the P element. Hox genes were discovered in this organism, whose Sevenless gene codes for the UV sensing portion of its ommatidia. Sex-linked traits were found in this organism when Thomas Hunt Morgan bred a white-eyed mutant and found a generation of red-eyed offspring. For 10 points, name this insect model organism commonly known as the fruit fly.
