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

The parent cell maximizes‚ cell duplicates its chromosome‚ exact copies are made of genetic material inside parent cell‚ wo molecules of DNA are attached to the cell’s plasma membrane‚ the cell then grows‚ it then increses the distance between the two duplicating chromosomes that are attached to the

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

Taxol must affect… A. Formation of the mitotic spindle This answer is A‚ because the drug Taxol disrupts microtubule formation‚ without microtubule formation the mitotic spindle will not be able to form. 8.) Why do chromosomes coil during mitosis? B. To allow the chromosomes to move without becoming entangled and breaking This answer can be found in the book on page 229‚ Figure 12.3. 12.)

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.
