Christopher Kruzel Bios 221 April 4‚ 2012 Drosophila Introduction The fruit fly or Drosophila melanogaster is ideal for classroom experiments. They are inexpensive‚ easy to nap‚ breed‚ as well as observe. It was very important to be able to tell the male and female flies apart from one another. The males are known to be usually smaller in size than the female flies and have bristles on their forelegs while the females lack this appearance. Also the males have a black or dark round end whereas

movement to avoid diseases | Considering the soil and climate | Avoid heavy‚ wet soil for a pH of 5.5 to 7.5 is preferred; avoid planting on temp below 60 or above 100 deg F for it can cause abortion‚ loss of pollen viability and occasionally seedless fruit development; strong winds should also be avoided | Provide deep soil to accommodate their extensive root systems; Dry weather is best for the plant | Considering some factors such as planting time‚ planting distance‚ size of pits and filling of pits

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‚

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

Heat on the pH of the Vegetable and Their Pigment PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to see how pH levels of certain vegetables change while being cooked in four different mediums (frying‚ boiling‚ steaming‚ roasting)‚ and how the varying pH levels change the coloring of the vegetables. We will analyze how the different method of cooking/heating changes the levels of pH. BACKGROUND INFORMATION This experiment is based around the different pigments in vegetables‚ of which we researched

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
