title: Formation of chimeric patterns and segregation of cells in varied combinations of thorax forming imaginai disks ofDrosophila melanogaster.
abstract: Genetically marked thoracic imaginal disks ofDrosophila melanogaster were partially dissociated and reaggregated. After metamorphosis, combinations of dorsal proand mesothoracic disks gave rise to mosaics, whereas no such mosaics were formed in combinations of dorsal meso- and metathoracic disks. Adventitious bristles are formed by the metathoracic disk, but these were never integrated in a common pattern with mesothoracic bristles.
