Biology 2/2/15 Block 1 Introduction and Background Drosophila melanogaster or more commonly referred to as “fruit flies” have been used for genetic research for over 100 years. During his time at Harvard university‚ Charles W. Woodworth is credited with being the first to suggest fruit flies be used for genetic research. A century later‚ fruit flies are the most widely used eukaryotic organism for genetic research (Drosophila). Their ease of use and rapid rate of reproduction

In Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson‚ china represents the foundation for the belief system that Jeanette develops throughout the novel. A strong foundation is made up of evidence and the reasoning behind your views. When Jeanette is younger‚ her mother imposes her strong beliefs about the Bible on her by putting these beliefs on various types of china and showing her a variety of evidence to support her beliefs. As Jeanette discovers her sexual orientation‚ she learns about Mrs

Fruit Fly Genetics Lab Kelly Hernandez 5/31/14 Drosophila melanogaster is a small‚ common fly found near unripe and rotted fruit. It has been in use for over a century to study genetics. Thomas Hunt Morgan was the best biologist studying Drosophila early in the 1900’s. Morgan was the first to discover sex-linkage and genetic recombination‚ which placed the small fly in the forefront of genetic research. Scientists have used Drosophila for many reasons. For one they are very easy to maintain‚

Kayla Berezne Mrs. Cohen Honors Biology 24 March 2013 Genetic Predictions in the Fruit Fly The Drosophila melanogaster is a fruit fly with a very short life cycle. They can be winged or wingless‚ and have red eyes or white eyes. The different options are called alleles. Alleles are the variants of a specific gene‚ and one is received from each parent on each chromosome. (“What Are Dominant and Recessive?”). It was chosen to use winged females and wingless males to predict the offspring in this

Winterson’s use of fairy-tale/allegory add to our understanding of ‘Oranges are Not the only Fruit’ as a whole? ‘Oranges are Not the Only Fruit’ is a novel which often uses allegory to create depth and meaning to the novel by blurring the line between fact and fiction. The use of allegory adds to our understanding of ‘Oranges’ as a whole in many different ways. Allegories are used within ‘Oranges are not the Only Fruit’ to fragment the text; the fragmentation is a key characteristic of post-modernist works

Oil Extraction The oil from citrus fruits is loaded with limonene. Extract the oil from the citrus rinds and use it to make insecticides whenever needed. A couple of small drops of citrus oil is all that is required to make insecticide spray. Sprinkling diluted oil around gardens repels pests. Keep the oil on hand and mix insecticides whenever a problem arises. To extract the oil‚ dry and grind the peels and leave them to soak in grain alcohol. Strain the mixture and leave the alcohol to evaporate

learnt about this term was Racism. Racism is a form of discrimination based on race‚ especially the belief that one race is superior to another. In “Strange Fruit” Abel Meeropol protests and raises awareness of the treatment of African Americans in South USA. The song describes the scene of lynching of Black American’s and their resemblance to a fruit hanging from a tree. We also studied the poem “took the children away” by Archie Roach which similarly portrayed a great understanding of the horrific treatment

The Dumpy Sepia X Wild Type Dihybrid cross using Drosophila Melanogaster. Abstract An experiment was performed on the fruit fly (Drosophila Melanogaster) in order to investigate Gregor Mendel’s postulates and determine if his laws were in fact correct. This was done by crossing Virgin Wild type females with Dumpy sepia males‚ and then inter-crossing their progeny (the first filial generation) in order to produce the second filial generation which was then studied. The results of this were designed
