Description
Two wings versus four. Ed Lewis's experiments with the bithorax complex (BX-C), a cluster of closely linked genes in Drosophila, produced a mutant with a double thoracic segment, hence an extra pair of wings. This photo was first published in 1982. This photo will be renumbered when the Lewis collection has been processed. ca 1982
