genetic inheritance pattern is X-Linked traits (Brooker 1999). Drosophila‚ or fruit flies‚ was chosen for the study of X-Linked traits for multiple reasons. Fruit flies are small insects approximately 3mm long‚ and thus use minimal space when compared to other species. The diet of fruit flies is simple and does not require extraneous foods or materials (Ullrey 2011). Additionally‚ the life cycle of fruit flies is quite short‚ lasting approximately 26 days for a female and approximately 33

“Strange Fruit Analysis” In response to the terrible act of lynchings‚ a poem was written in protest to the terrible acts. The poem “Strange Fruit”‚published in 1939‚ and written by Abel Meeropol and popularized by Billie Holiday is a poem that was written in protest to lynchings. Abel Meeropol was a teacher‚ poet‚ and social activist who was haunted by pictures of lynchings‚ which is when a mob takes black men who have been accused of wrongdoing‚ and usually hang them. The pictures haunted him

Title: Showing Cellular Respiration through Alcoholic Fermentation Abstract: The experiment was conducted to determine the impact different yeast amounts had on yeast fermentation. It was hypothesized that the more yeast added the more CO2 would be produced. The carbon dioxide production was measured in the fermentation of yeast with solution of no yeast in test tube 1‚ 1mL yeast in test tube 2‚ and 3mL of yeast in test tube 3 over a period of twenty minutes. All of the yeast amounts produced

Dragon fruit Production in Palawan: An Assessment of Its Potential for Agricultural Production in Palawan Background Dragon fruit is the fruit of several cactus species. These fruit are also known as pitaya‚ native to Mexico and Central America; Growing Dragon fruit commercially is common in places like Thailand and Vietnam where the climate makes the dragon fruit conditions just right for growing dragon fruit cactus all the way successfully to fruit. There are most commonly cultivated

Fruit Fly Lab Introduction The major topic of this experiment was to examine two different crosses between Drosophila fruit flies and to determine how many flies of each phenotype were produced. Phenotype refers to an individual’s appearance‚ where as genotype refers to an individual’s genes. The basic law of genetics that was examined in this lab was formulated by a man often times called the "father of genetics‚" Gregor Mendel. He determined that individuals have two alternate forms

influence the population of fruit flies? 2. Do fruit flies reproduce faster in cool or warm temperatures? ie. Is the reproduction rate of fruit flies faster in warm temperatures or cooler temperatures? Hypothesis: Using two separate 750g boxes of peaches‚ one box placed in a warm environment (in front of a window allowing direct sunlight onto the peaches)‚ while the other is placed in a cool environment (beneath the kitchen sink)‚ over a period of two weeks‚ fruit flies will tend to reproduce

Fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysates involves the conversion of sugars to ethanol which is mainly performed by bacteria or yeast. The organism chosen should possess certain characters in terms of tolerance I‚e towards inhibitors ‚sugars and ethanol concentrations in the hydrolysates and should also withstand higher temperatures and lower pH and with minimal by product formation [161]. Fermentation is the key component where advancement in technology plays key role and is required to be feasible

The aim of this experiment is to better understand the process of fermentation of yeast in different concentrations of sucrose. The experiment worked with yeast and sugar (sucrose and glucose) to determine the rate of fermentation by testing the pressure of C02 in the test tube. The experiment tested the metabolic capability of yeast anaerobically meaning no oxygen was present (this was ensured by the thin layer of oil on the top of the solution). This means that the metabolic rate of the yeast could

producer and distributor of fruit and vegetable juices. Industry Strategic Analysis Threat of New Entrants: In the fruit juices industry there are high entrance barriers because there are big companies that have economies of scale because of the great amount of products they sale‚ and this companies have machinery to make a lot of juices of different fruits and vegetables‚ making it easy for big companies to have economies of scale. Many of these companies not only make fruit juice‚ but have products

DIFFERENT STORAGE TECHNIQUES FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLE Food spoilage: Every change in food that causes it to lose its desired quality and eventually become inedible is called food spoilage or rotting. Factors affecting storage life The natural limits to the post-harvest life of all types of fresh produce are severely affected by other biological and environmental conditions: Temperature: An increase in temperature causes an increase in the rate of natural breakdown of all produce as food reserves
