Abstract excerpt
The tergotrochanteral (TTM) "jump" muscles in the second (T2) and third (T3) thoracic segments of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, were analyzed morphologically and morphometrically in wildtype (Canton-S) and bithorax mutants (abx bx3 pbx/Df(3R)P2). In the transformed T3 segments of mutant...
