Inheritance is something you possess from your ancestor and carried along‚ it may be any asset‚ money or anything but when we connect with the life what we will take from our parental generation

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 for genetic studies because it has simple food requirements‚ occupies little space‚ is hardy‚ completes its life

differences in elevation. Being the most precise method of leveling‚ it is used when a high degree of accuracy is required. The basic equipment used in differential leveling include a graduated leveling rod‚ and a leveling instrument such as a dumpy level‚ automatic level‚ or an engineer’s transit. These leveling instruments are used to establish a horizontal line of sight and to measure the vertical distance between the line if sight and the point on which the rod is held. IV. PROCEDURES:

Your Inner Fish Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin‚ delves into the questions of why the human body looks the way it does. Looking at the earliest forms of vertebrate life on land and even to the earliest forms of life on Earth we can trace the evolution of the human body. The creatures‚ from millions of years ago‚ have left us with a genetic a imprint that reveals how similar we truly are to the other creatures on Earth. Shubin tells the story of evolution by tracing the skeletal features and organs

morphological defects such as blister formation in the cuticle. The blister phenotype (Bli) is inherited recessively and develop in the adult stage of C. elegans. Other cuticle collagen mutations‚ such as the uncoordinated (unc)‚ roller (rol) and dumpy (dpy) mutations‚ can suppress the Bli phenotype. Sc109 is also another mutation that is found in a carrier of the bli-1 allele and was found to incompletely suppress the formation of blisters. Tetraspanin protein (TSP-15) is found to be needed to maintain
