Term

genital disc morphogenesis

ID (Ontology)

GO:0007483 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process in which the anatomical structures derived from the genital disc are generated and organized. This includes the transformation of a genital imaginal disc from a monolayered epithelium in the larvae of holometabolous insects into the recognizable adult genital structures, the anal plates and the hind gut.[ ISBN:0879694238 ]
