Saturday Morning Physics | Evolution in Black and White: How Fruit Flies Change Their Spots and Stripes
Patricia Wittkopp, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (U-M)
DNA is often described as the blueprint for life because it encodes information that directs the development and function of all living things. Changes in DNA sequence accumulated over evolutionary time give rise to the differences we see among species. In this talk, Professor Wittkopp will use the pigmentation of fruit flies to illustrate genetic mechanisms of development and evolution.
