Whoops, sorry, should have listened more closely. It grows a fly eye. So I guess the exact info for what TYPE of eye it grows would be found somewhere else.
Yes. The genetic machinery for the specifics of that eye lie "downstream" in a sort of cascade of messages from one gene/protein to another. These developmental cascades in the fly eye would probably be, at least in some ways, different from those cascades in the mouse eye.
@Mithcoriel its amazing, identical genes in mouse and fly. who would've thought that mouse genes could be used to make fly eyes? that sounds potentially useful in medical uses
0:55"Nobody thought single genes were powerful enough to control something as complex as the structure of the body"
Yeah, like some magical force from outer space controls it.

@jaymorpheus11 You misunderstood. They thought the mechanism that control the structure of the body was more complicated.

So did the gene for a mouse-eye, implanted into a fly, make it grow FLY eyes, or something like mouse eyes?
