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‚ it would be almost impossible to list the number of things that are being

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

Genetics of Drosophila Lab Report: The test of heredity in fruit flies In my testings with breeding the fruit flies‚ I learned that the purpose of breeding them was to test how genetics pass from generation to generation‚ also known as heredity. We attempted to breed the flies and get them as close to a 9:3:3:1 ratio as possible. This would lead to an acceptable trait ratio. My hypothesis was that if we were to breed the flies in a stable environment‚ the most common fly (or the fly with the highest

This deadly and bloody war between the allies and the axis alliance lasted for six years. At the end of the war victory was claimed by the allied powers‚ which were: Britain‚ France‚ the U.S‚ the Soviet Union‚ China‚ Canada and Australia. Canada plays an important role

Introduction The purpose of the experiment that has been conducted is to breed Drosophila melanogaster for specific traits. We used a dihybrid cross where the traits were sex linked. The cross is considered dihybrid due to the fact that we are crossing two different traits. The traits used for this dihybrid cross experiment are white eyes (w) and vestigial wings (vg). The white eyes are the sex linked trait. These traits were taken and crossed with wild type D. melanogaster. The experiment

Introduction Drosophila melanogaster is a species of Fly (the taxonomic order Diptera) in the family Drosophilidae. The species is known generally as the common fruit fly or vinegar fly. Starting with Charles W. Woodworth’s proposal of the use of this species as a model organism‚ D. melanogaster continues to be widely used for biological research in studies of genetics‚ physiology‚ microbial pathogenesis and life history evolution. It is typically used because it is an animal species that is
