Fig. 5. Bcd(A52-56) causes severe patterning defects in Drosophila embryos. (A-H) Representative cuticle phenotypes of embryos from bcd(A52-56) transgenic females (A-D) and higher magnification showing their corresponding head regions (E-H). Both moderate (B,F) and severe (C-H) phenotypes are shown for embryos from bcd+ females carrying one copy of bcd(A52-56)18A. A and E represent a completely normal embryo from bcd+ transgenic females carrying two copies of bcd(A52-56) for transgenic line 3-4 (see Table 3). Cuticles are orientated with anterior towards the left and (except C,G) dorsal upwards.
