    • 3 Pages

    The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster are an excellent specimen for research in genetics. Many reasons are that they have a rapid reproduction rate‚ easy to care compared other animals and less expensive. Researchers have determined the nucleotide sequence of nearly the entire 120 megabase euchromatic portion of the Drosophila genome (Cite). Drosophila has a simple genetic arrangement of only four chromosomes which contains three autosomes and one sex chromosome according to(--) and because of this

    The history of fruit flies is considered a tradition. Research of these flies initially entered labs 100 years ago. Thomas Hunt Morgan‚ who lived from 1866 to 1945‚ was the founder of drosophila genetics. Thomas preformed his research in Morgan lab at the Columbia University in 1910. Here was when they found a famous mutation‚ know as the white-eyed fly. Quite an accomplishment was this discovery‚ but the end of the 1980’s there were 3‚000+-recorded mutations. Now drosophila is very popular; so popular

Their scientific name is Drosophila melanogaster‚ and to scientists‚ they have been a key to understand many principles of heredity including sex linked inheritance‚ epistasis‚ multiple alleles‚ and gene mapping.

    Genetics & Drosophila Melanogaster Lab Report Background: For two months‚ you will breed Drosphila melanogaster (fruit flies) and set up genetic crosses in order to determine the pattern of inheritance of certain mutant traits. The traits for which we will examine the pattern of inheritance are apterous (wingless)‚ vestigial (crippled wings) or white eyes. These are all mutant strains. The normal condition (winged and red eyes) is referred to as the wild type strain. Objective: The intial

    frustrated fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster Ankit Sharma April 8‚ 2013 BIO 534 Introduction The fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster show addiction-like behavior towards alcohol where the flies seem to be physiologically dependent on (Atkinson et. al.‚ 2012). The flies can thus exhibit a cognitive dependence where such behavior is stored in memory and same behavior is also shown in the future. This addiction is linked to NPY neuropeptide levels which can be found in Drosophila where these

    using the fruit flyDrosophila Melanogaster. A Cinnabar Brown female was crossed with Wild Type male. The flies were mated in a jar containing a nutrient medium and then placed in an incubator. The experiment was conducted over a period of 5 weeks. Cinnabar (cn) and brown (bw) are two loci in Drosophila with recessive eye colour mutations. Mutations in cn cause a bright red eye and mutations in bw cause a brown eye. Double mutants have white eyes. As predicted‚ all the F1 generation of flies were wild

    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 using fruit flies was that they grow up fast their life spans approximates

    Genetics With Drosophila Flies Josh Derrall Lab Group: Dana Gilkes James Lupo Olivia Giannola December 4‚ 2012 Prof. Hunter Introduction Genetics is a topic that has been studied for hundreds of years. One of the most notable geneticists was Gregor Mendel. Mendel studied basic inheritance patterns and gene expression using pea plants. Mendel determined that the offspring of two parents contains one gene from each parent (McKusick 1983). However‚ since Mendels discoveries

    organisms are species that are studied to understand the biology of other organisms‚ usually humans. Fruit flies share 75% of the genes that cause certain diseases with humans. Therefore scientists can learn about human genetics by studying fruit fly genetics. This falls under the bigger principle of understanding the basic biology that all organisms have in common. Common fruit flies like Drosophila are useful when studying genetics for several reasons‚ such as their small size that makes them easy
