Many mutations in the bithorax gene are known, such as postbithoraxcontrabithorax and bithoriaxoid.  Each mutation has a different effect on development of the reduced wing-like T3 appendage, the haltere.  None of these mutations occurs in the coding sequence of bithorax, instead, where are these mutations and how do they effect development?
◦ These mutations alter the slice sites for bithorax and affect the splicing of the bithorax mRNA.  Their different effects on development are cause by affects on alternative splicing.
◦ Each mutant alters a different codon within the bitorax gene, which affects the DNA-binding behavior of the bithorax protein.
◦ These mutations each effect silent sites and effect the stability of the bithorax mRNA.
◦ Bithorax is inhibited by zygotic genes from the mother and these mutations affect maternal genes.
◦ These mutations each effect a different enhancer(s) near the bithorax gene and the resulting misexpression of bithorax in each mutant causes patterning defects in the haltere.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
