    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophila

    Drosophila (/ drəˈsɒfɪlə, drɒ -, droʊ -/ [1][2]) is a genus of fly, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many species to linger around overripe or rotting fruit. They should not be confused with the ...

  4. Drosophila embryogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophila_embryogenesis

    Drosophila embryogenesis, the process by which Drosophila (fruit fly) embryos form, is a favorite model system for genetics and developmental biology. The study of its embryogenesis unlocked the century-long puzzle of how development was controlled, creating the field of evolutionary developmental biology . [ 1 ]

  6. Drosophilidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophilidae

    Drosophilidae. The Drosophilidae are a diverse, cosmopolitan family of flies, which includes species called fruit flies, although they are more accurately referred to as vinegar or pomace flies. [ 1 ] Another distantly related family of flies, Tephritidae, are true fruit flies because they are frugivorous, and include apple maggot flies and ...

  7. Pair-rule gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair-rule_gene

    A pair-rule gene is a type of gene involved in the development of the segmented embryos of insects. Pair-rule genes are expressed as a result of differing concentrations of gap gene proteins, which encode transcription factors controlling pair-rule gene expression. [1][2] Pair-rule genes are defined by the effect of a mutation in that gene ...

  8. Ultrabithorax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrabithorax

    Ultrabithorax (Ubx) is a homeobox gene found in insects, and is used in the regulation of patterning in morphogenesis. There are many possible products of this gene, which function as transcription factors. Ubx is used in the specification of serially homologous structures, and is used at many levels of developmental hierarchies.

  9. Respiratory system of insects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_system_of_insects

    Development of the tracheal system in Drosophila melanogaster. An insect 's respiratory system is the system with which it introduces respiratory gases to its interior and performs gas exchange. Air enters the respiratory systems of insects through a series of external openings called spiracles. These external openings, which act as muscular ...
