Drosophila melanogaster are a species more commonly known to us as fruit flies. They are extremely important in biological research due to the fact that they make excellent model organisms for understanding genetics. Reasons behind their frequent use include; easily cultured in the lab‚ short generation time‚ and they can produce many offspring. In this lab report‚ we began with three different strains of Drosophila. Introduction The common form of Drosophila is known as the “wild type”‚ any fly

Benefits of practicing Tai Chi Tai Chi is a therapeutic exercise which originated as a martial art. It is a slow moving martial art based on the Eastern belief that a life force (chi) or energy circulates throughout the body by way of pathways called meridians. A disruption in this flow of energy is believed to result in illness or disease. Therefore‚ a balance of chi is essential for health and Tai Chi is an exercise which promotes this proper flow of energy. However‚ it is both a physical and

Older people who took part in a structured programme of Tai Chi found that their balance and physical strength improved‚ reducing the risk of falls‚ according to a paper in the latest Journal of Advanced Nursing. Researchers studied a group of fall-prone adults‚ with an average age of 78‚ living in residential care. 29 undertook a 12-week Tai Chi course three times a week and 30 formed the non-exercise control group. They found that the physical fitness of the exercise group showed significant

Drosophila melanogaster‚ more commonly known as the fruit fly‚ is commonly used as a model organism in genetic research. Using D. melanogaster has a multitude of practical advantages for researchers. These include a fast reproduction cycle of approximately 30 days‚ small physical size‚ cost-effective culture and growth in large quantities‚ and a small genome size of 4 pairs of chromosomes. A basic understanding of the anatomy and genetics of D. melanogaster is necessary before preforming genetics

lab.Professor Lee has been in the biological science department in UCSC since 2007. his current research includes using Drosophila fly to study genetic and development biology. I was impressed with Lee’s techniques into studying Alzheimer’s with the Drosophila fly(fruit fly). While I was reading the research paper‚ I had this unsettling question to why using precisely Drosophila fly to study Alzheimer’s. However‚ during his lecture or presentation‚ I came to find out that the main reason he was

Chromatography Experiment of the Drosophila Eye Pigmentation Pathway Introduction: How can the use of chromatography help explain single gene mutations of the drosophila melanogaster bio-synthetic pigment pathway? This experiment was meant to help connect the mode of inheritance with different eye color mutations and pinpoint where they occur in the pigment pathway. The drosophila eye color is a result of two bio-synthetic eye color pathways‚ this is expressed as a trait or phenotype‚ a multigene

Completing the Square: Quadratic Examples & Deriving the Quadratic Formula (page 2 of 2) Solve x2 + 6x + 10 = 0. Apply the same procedure as on the previous page: This is the original equation. x2 + 6x + 10 = 0 Move the loose number over to the other side. x2 + 6x = – 10 Take half of the coefficient on the x-term (that is‚ divide it by two‚ and keeping the sign)‚ and square it. Add this squares value to both sides of the equation. x^2 + 6x + 9 = –10 + 9 Convert the left-hand side to
