Summary Introduction
Introduction: Drosophila is one of the most important organisms in the studies of developmental genetics because it has a short life cycle and scientists have a great understanding of its genes. It also has a small genetic code as compared to other organisms and every type of gene displays a different function. Segmentation genes are a class of genes present in the Drosophila.
