Consider the principles you have been exposed to from the studies of Drosophila embryogenesis. This does NOT mean describe the stages of Drosophila embryogenesis. Another way to think of it is: taking into account what you’ve learned about Drosophila embryogenesis/development, what are some of the general rules or requirements of ALL development (not just Drosophila, but use Drosophila as an example in the supporting sentence.
an example would be Communication is essential. Could be between cells or between cells and the environment. This refers to the process of induction.
three principles that are simple and essential to Drosophila
Embryogenesis or development is the process by which embryo forms and develops. Although embryogenesis occurs in both plant and animal development. Requirements and rules by which both plants and animals develop regeneration, asexual reproduction, metamorphosis, and the growth and differentiation of cells. Development of plants involves similar processes as that of animals. However plant cells are mostly immortal so morphogenesis is achieved by differential growth. Inductive signals are those of different as compared to animal development.
In case of all animal development cases rules are similar following that drosophila embryo development including metamorphosis. Drosophila embryo has served a vital role to understand the embryo development of molecular tools that reconize rapid molecular, functional, characterization of genes that act to build the embryo. The role of environment is important in embryogenesis to distinguish between them totipotency and pluripotency. We kno know that blastocyst and embryonic stem cells are only totipotency if they can develop within an appropriate environment. Drosophila and human development are homologous processes consists of an number of stages embryogenesis, larval, pupal, adult stage followed by fertilization, mitosis.
The basic easy and simple principles to drosophila that have emerged from the three decades of close study at a useful level some of the basic principles of cell fate selection and the importance of local cell to cell connection, position determine the cell fate signalling. Drosophila eye assembly, the eye matures in a stepwise fashion, molecular pathways are utilised reiteratively.
