Abstract
The polarity of sensory bristles on the thorax of Drosophila is linked to t
he orientation of the asymmetric cell divisions that partition cell fate de
terminants in this lineage. The orientation of these divisions is under the
control of the Frizzled pathway that generates planar polarity in a number
of cell types.
