    few simple reasons; they are small and easily handled‚ they have a short life cycle and they are easy to keep large numbers such as the confined spaces of a laboratory or classroom. [1] Drosophila also have a small number of chromosomes: three autosomal pairs and X/Y chromosomes. This helps to simplify genetic mapping and study. The egg of a Drosophila is around half of a millimeter long and will take one day from fertilization for the embryo to develop and hatch into its larvae form. The larvae

    process known as meiosis. III. I am currently a biology major at CSU-Pueblo looking to pursue a degree in wildlife biology. IV. During the process of meiosis‚ diploid cells split in half‚ forming four haploid cells‚ which each have a single set of chromosomes. These cells are called either gametes or sex cells. Female gametes are egg and male gametes are sperm. Two meiotic divisions occur known as meiosis I and meiosis II‚ and each one of these divisions have four stages‚ which are; prophase‚ metaphase

    remain virgin. BASIC GENETICS The karyotype of Drosophila comprises four pairs of chromosomes‚ of which three pairs are autosomes and one pair are sex chromosomes. Female Drosophila are XX‚ and males XY. A gene is a heritable factor that controls the expression of some trait‚ which may be morphological‚ behavioural‚ molecular‚ etc. Each such gene occupies a specific physical locus (pl. loci) on a particular chromosome. Variant forms of these loci are termed alleles. Gene‚ locus‚ and allele are often

    1. Explain what must happen in order for Greg and Susan to have a child with O type blood and nail-patella syndrome. Greg needs to pass down his chromosome 9 which carry the alleles‚ n and i. Susan also has the n and I alleles on chromosome 9. If both these alleles from both parents are passed down‚ it will create the allele Nnii which produced the blood type O and nail patella syndrome. 2.  Determine all possible parental and recombinant gametes produced by Greg and Susan. Greg’s parental

    or too few chromosomes‚ which is known as aneuploidy. Embryos with aneuploidy may be born with conditions like Down syndrome or Trisomy 21. In other cases‚ aneuploidy results in a miscarriage. Preimplantation genetic screening can determine if an embryo has the correct number of chromosomes to develop into viable pregnancy and a healthy baby. Not only does PGS allow our physicians at our Louisiana fertility centers to be 99% certain that the embryo has the correct number of chromosomes‚ it also allows

    driving. 2. The eyes of an experienced driver sweep into the curve several seconds before reaching it. 3. Colorblindness primarily affects males. The genes for red and green cones are on the X chromosome and males have only one copy of this chromosome. Females‚ on the other hand‚ have a second X chromosome that serves as a backup if something goes wrong with the first. About one man in ten is colorblind. How will this information affect you as a driver now and in the future? (2-3 sentences)

    Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells are organized into complex structures by internal membranes and a cytoskeleton. The most characteristic membrane bound structure is the nucleus. This feature gives them their name‚ (also spelled "eucaryote‚") which comes from the Greek word referring to the nucleus. Animals‚ plants‚ fungi‚ and protists are eukaryotes. Microorganisms and all other living organisms are classified as prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are distinguished on the
