a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The evidence that suggests genetic eye determinants in Drosophila are also found in humans and to give a discussion of orthologous genes.

Introduction:

The Drosophila melanogaster is the widely used model organism in the field of genetics and developmental biology. It is also called as the fruit fly. It is suitable for laboratory studies since it carries only four chromosomes and hence creating a loss of function and gain of function of these genes is very easy. There are various reason for using this as a model organism which includes low cost, morphology is easy to identify, small in size, genetic crossing can be done, etc.
