The yellow condition in Drosophila melanogaster. A biological structuralist approach to the study of phenocopies.

Abstract excerpt

A phenocopy, as defined by Goldschmidt, is an environmentally induced form which resembles a genetic mutant. They have a site of induction at a number of developmental levels and are not only produced by interfering with gene gene expression. Phenocopies and the corresponding genetic mutant, are also not necessarily generated through equivalent developmental pathways. The yellow phenocopy of Drosophila...
