Bars represent populations of clones in differentregions of the discs, labeled below the graph. The level of ex-lacZ expression within each clone was compared with ex-lacZ expression levels in that region andassigned to one of three categories based on the relative ex-lacZ expression. The fraction of clones in which no cells exhibited elevation of ex-lacZ expression isindicated in blue; the fraction of clones in which at least one but not all cells displayed elevated ex-lacZ expression is shown in green; and the fraction of clonesin which all cells showed elevated ex-lacZ expression is indicated in yellow.
