In the photo: 80-fold magnification of a developing wing in a fruit fly larva showing different aspects of apoptosis activated as a result of radioactive radiation - in a normal fly (left) and a mutant fly lacking Drice (right). In the top row: the expression area of ​​the "reporter" protein colored with green fluorescent color. In the middle row: fluorescent marking of the cutting of the "reporter" protein by the caspases after activation of apoptosis. Bottom row: fluorescent labeling of dead cells. In the normal fly many cells die after exposure to radioactive radiation, but in the fly without Drice there is almost no apoptosis
