File:Bands of denticles in normal and Hh mutant Drosophila embryo.jpeg: Difference between revisions

Image description

This figure shows the change in the segmentation pattern of the denticles in the early normal Drosophila embryo versus that of with a mutated hedgehog gene that is not expressed. It is apparent the the segmentation in the abnormal variant of Drosophila has become diffuse, with the denticles clumping together and forming a sheet over the embryo rather than distinct bands.
