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

These imaginative journeys occur in the realm of the mind where fantasy is created and reality is considered. The human capacity to dream and transcend actual existence often opens amazing possibilities. It is through imagination‚ speculation

Abstract The main purpose of this experiment was to find which chromosome our unknown gene mutation is presented on and the exact location on that chromosome. In order to do so many cycles of crosses were completed using linkage analysis on Drosophila melanogaster‚ a type of fruit fly used in this experiment to identify our unknown gene mutation‚ unknown. Using virgin bar females crossed with Curly/Plum; Dichaete/Stubble male fruit flies represented our Discriminant Cross one (DC1). The

of complete and incomplete dominance on the behavior of two different genes for chlorophyll production in tobacco. Two sets of approximately 50-100 tobacco seeds were planted for one week. The plants were the F2 result of two sets of monohybrid F1 crosses Gg x Gg and CyCg x CyCg. A chromosome for these plants has two sets of genes. The gene at one locus has two alleles that code for normal chlorophyll production. Dominant allele represented as G produce the green phenotype. The mutant allele‚ g‚ produces
