It is true. In drosophila, distinct sets of maternal impact gene products must accumulate in the proper region of the embryo to ensure proper anteroposterior and dorsoventral development.
<h3>What makes Drosophila unique?</h3>
The use of Drosophila over vertebrate models has many technological advantages;
they are simple and affordable to culture in lab settings,
have a significantly shorter life cycle,
produce huge numbers of externally deposited embryos
may be genetically manipulated in a variety of ways.
<h3>Why is Drosophila referred to be the genetic Cinderella?</h3>
Drosophila, which means "dew loving," is derived from the Greek word drósos.
Fruit flies, or Drosophila melanogaster, are referred to as the genetic Cinderella.
This term was given to them because of their 12-day lifetime, ease of culture, and ability to produce numerous offspring from a single reproduction.
