ommatidium | cell autonomous | somatic clone
Ommatidia contain an average of four R7 cells.
Mosaic analysis suggests that Gap1 is cell autonomous, and that Gap1+ function is not required in the R7 or R8 cell for the assembly of a wild-type ommatidium, but rather is required in recruited cells to prevent them from entering the R7 pathway.
