Examples of endoreplication in Drosophila
A. During development, adult ovarian follicle cells and germline cells become polyploid. B. In Drosophila larva, salivary gland cells are polyploid. C. Polyploid cells are observed in the ileum region of hindgut in the larval Drosophila. D. In post-mitotic tissues like the follicular epithelium, compensatory cellular hypotrophy (CCH) takes place after tissue volume loss.
