Abstract
Phenotypes of Drosophila can be altered by subjecting developing larvae to changes in environment. Such environmental changes may be temperature shocks, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and chemically altered media. Most alterations in phenotype are not inherited, and may resemble the effects produced by known mutant genes. Such alterations are called phenocopies.
