Introduction Drosophila melanogaster is a common fruit fly that has been useful for most experiments in the study of Genetics. The male and the female fruit fly are similar and different in regards to how they look‚ structurally. They are similar because both genders have a head‚ thorax‚ proboscis‚ antennae‚ eyes‚ and mouth parts. However‚ males are smaller than females and have about five abdominal segments as opposed to the seven that the female has. The life cycle of these fruit flies consist

the dominant and recessive phenotypes and their frequencies in the population? i. The dominant phenotypes do not always occur more commonly than recessive phenotypes do; that is‚ the dominancy of a phenotype in the population is independent of the dominance of the corresponding allele. In other words‚ the phenotype that has the higher allele frequency will be more abundant in the population. e. Newlyweds Bill and Sue are non-freckled. Since each had one parent who had freckles‚ they wonder what the

INTRODUCTION TO DROSOPHILA GENETICS DROSOPHILA CULTURE We will study basic principles of Mendelian inheritance with the use of the fruit fly‚ Drosophila melanogaster [the name means “black-bodied fruit-lover”]. Drosophila was one of the first organisms to be studied genetically: its small size‚ short life cycle (10 ~14 days at 25oC)‚ high reproductive rate (an adult female can lay 400-500 eggs in 10 days)‚ and ease of culture and genetic manipulation have made it perhaps the best understood animal

These results are consistent with the following circumstance: A) sex-linked inheritance with 30% crossing over. B) linkage with 50% crossing over. C) linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci. D) independent assortment. E) 100% recombination. 6) With incomplete dominance‚ a likely

Case Study – A Sickeningly Sweet Baby Boy Part I Questions 1. What additional information would you want to know to understand Emma and Jacob’s panic? To understand the cause of the panic that was brought to Jacob and Emma‚ you would need to know more about the state of the baby. This article just describes that the boy was having difficulty feeding‚ and after seven days he stopped feeding. This isn’t a situation that brings upon panic right away‚ but for Emma and Jacob it did. The panic

Chapter 9: Patterns of Inheritance What pattern will inheritance follow? Why is it important? Always follow patterns? Rule of Probability In tossing a coin the odds of either a head or tail is always 50%. The outcome is unaffected by the previous attempt. If 2 coins are tossed‚ each will be dependent of the other HH‚ HT‚ TH‚ TT (Probability is 25% or ¼) The rules also hold true for genetics due to the law of independent assortment. Each alternative type of outcome in a gene acts independently

In my lab experimentation‚ all of the parent generation‚ or flies I started with‚ were wild-type or mutant phenotypically‚ but their genotypes were unknown. However‚ after I mated these flies and they produced offspring‚ the parental genotypes could be hypothesized based on phenotypic observations and ratios of the F1 and F2 generations. I then could check my observations by testing it using the Chi squared (X2) test. A. Miniature Wings – (Sex-Linked Recessive) To determine the inheritance of
