BIOL 323-02 TTH 12pm-2pm Drosophila melanogaster: Monohybrid Cross & Sex-Linked Inheritance October 6‚ 2012 Abstract This lab involved a monohybrid reciprocal cross and a sex-linked cross utilizing Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. After sexing the flies‚ placing them in media‚ and letting them cross breed‚ we analyzed and recorded the phenotypes that were observed. The P1 flies were anesthetized then sexed by observing their phenotypes and equally distributed

embryonic-onset‚ progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle in the sap homozygous zebrafish. Embryonically‚ the mechanism of degeneration occurs due to the detachment of somitic myofibers from the myosepta‚ the tendon-like sheets of ECM. In the zebrafish larvae‚ this muscle fiber detachment is visible at the myotendinous junctions and is accompanied by extensive degeneration‚ fibrosis‚ inflammatory responses and activation of muscle fiber regeneration‚ reminiscent of the severe pathological phenotype observed

There are many different types of relationships and interactions between organisms A wide array of interactions among plants‚ animals‚ and microorganisms occurs in nature. Some of these relationships are characterized by a close physical association among species that continues for a large period of the life cycle. In 1879 German botanist Heinrich Anton de Bary coined the term "symbiosis" to describe these relationships‚ meaning the living together of different species of organisms. Many people associate

prevalent in Southeast Asia‚ causes malaria in macaques but can also cause severe infections in humans. Malaria is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions because rainfall‚ warm temperatures‚ and stagnant waters provide habitats ideal for mosquito larvae. Disease transmission can be reduced by preventing mosquito bites by distribution of mosquito nets and insect repellents‚ or with mosquito-control measures such as spraying insecticides and draining standing water. Malaria is typically diagnosed

Dr. Justin Schmidt‚ an entomologist who came up with the Schmidt Sting pain Index describes the pain of being stung by a bullet ant as a local pain reaction that is characterized by crescendo of searing pain that lasts up to 24 hours. Their sting is rated a "4_+" in the Schmidt Sting Pain Index. The excruciating pain‚ he describes‚ comes in waves that recede and peak causing untold misery to the afflicted party. Bullet ants also known as Conga ants claim their fame form the searing pain they inflict

Drosophila melanogaster is a fruit fly‚ about 3mm in length‚ and it is the insect that flies around spoiled fruit. A model organism has these traits: short life cycles and rapid development‚ small average size‚ big population‚ and fast reproduction (NCBI). Drosophila melanogaster meet all of the criteria for being a model organism. Also‚ fruit flies were used because they are very easy to handle and they require minimal resources to survive‚ as opposed to other organisms that might need more food
