Question
Chapter 28, Problem 23E
Summary Introduction
To explain: The statement, “In Drosophila, an esc- homozygote develops normally unless its mother is also an esc- homozygote.”
Introduction: In Drosophila, Homeotic genes encode the transcription factors that assign development fates to cells along the body axis. The polycomb group (Pc-G) of proteins maintains the repressive state of these genes throughout the development. The members of Pc-G proteins include extra sex combs (esc) and Enhancer of Zeste.
