ABSTRAT PAGE We had to pick a lab to do and we had four choices. We could pick one on the how genes are pasted down from generation to generation. FRUIT FLY PURPOSE: The purpose of this lab is to determine what genetics are dominant and which one is recession in the fruit fly and to see what genetics are past down from generation to generation. INTERODUCTUON: Mendel’s pea did and experiment that was

Fruit Fly Lab Alycia Fletcher Biology IB HL March 25th 2010 Fruit Fly Lab Introduction Genes can either be sex-linked or autosomal. If a gene appears mostly in one sex chances are the gene is sex-linked and if it appears frequently in both sexes it is most likely autosomal. Using Drosophila melanogaster‚ also known as the fruit fly‚ we will determine whether the gene is sex-linked or autosomal. Drosophila melanogasters have a relatively short life span and are an excellent organism

Evolution Lab “Evolution by Natural Selection” The object of this experiment is to determine how changing the size of the beak of a finch will affect the population as well as the growth rate of the finch’s beak. The reason for the experiment is to evaluate evolution and how it affects the finch’s population‚ and how natural selection is always present in life. In this experiment I will show that the finch will continue to evolve until its beak has reached the optimal size for sustaining

AP Biology Lab Report Investigation 12: Fruit Fly Behavior Abstract: In the lab that was conducted‚ students were supposed to examine the tendencies of fruit flies‚ specifically Drosophila’s‚ to move toward or away from important stimuli that aide in their survival‚ also known as taxis. Another objective for this lab was to identify the patterns and relationships between environmental factors and a living organism. Students are supposed to use two bottles to allow the flies to choose which

Genetics With Drosophila Flies Josh Derrall Lab Group: Dana Gilkes James Lupo Olivia Giannola December 4‚ 2012 Prof. Hunter Introduction Genetics is a topic that has been studied for hundreds of years. One of the most notable geneticists was Gregor Mendel. Mendel studied basic inheritance patterns and gene expression using pea plants. Mendel determined that the offspring of two parents contains one gene from each parent (McKusick 1983). However‚ since Mendels discoveries

It studies the size‚ composition and distribution of a population‚ and the process through which a population changes. Demography allows us to track changes over time and to depict how different periods in history change population dynamics. Births‚ deaths‚ migration and emigration‚ jointly produced the change within a population (Biological Science). Demography
