As a functional analysis of animal development, an accurate fate map was carried out using the silkworm, Bombyx mod [128]. Among the beam sizes tested (60- to 250-pm c[)), 250-pm c[) was adopted for the fate mapping of egg at the cellular blastderm stage. When eggs were irradiated near the anterior, posterior, or dorsal periphery, no defective larvae were observed. A close correlation was observed between the site of irradiation and the site of the defect induced. Head defects were induced only by irradiation at the anterior half of the egg, whereas defects in thoracic and abdominal segments were induced by irradiation at the middle and the posterior part of the egg, respectively. Based on the correlations, a fate map of the B. mod egg was established [128]. 

If the existence of an ordered fate map poses the problem of positional information, the striking phenomena of transdetermination and homeosis unavoidably raise the question of the relation of developmental programs in diverse imaginal discs. Transdetermination was discovered when imaginal disc fragments were cultured. Although each disc normally differ-...

In order to begin to address these questions, it was necessary to understand which cells give rise to the different limb parts. Fate maps of the limb bud were con-... 

Fate maps only reveal contributions of cells in different regions but do not show when decisions to form a particular structure have been taken. Once cells have taken this decision, which seals their fate irreversibly, they are said to be determined and the traditional test for determination is transplantation. If cells are determined, they will develop autonomously when transplanted into a different region of an embryo if they are not, they will change fate and develop according to their new site (Slack, 1991).
