Genetics of Drosophila First‚ Drosophila is the common fruit fly. The common fruit fly is some of the best organisms to study for genetic research and experimentation. This is true for a few reasons‚ the first of which is the small number of chromosomes which is 4‚ and that we have identified the genome. This means all traits are known and we can figure out where mutations take place. The second reason is the fly’s ability to reproduce quickly. A new generation is produced every week‚ allowing

Furthermore‚ Arabidopsis thaliana shares similar patterns of growth‚ development‚ flowering and seed production to higher plants. The high germination rate of this plant allows researchers to analyze large populations of seedlings for a specific phenotype. Besides all these characteristics‚ Arabidopsis thaliana is a small plant‚ requiring relatively little sunlight within temperatures of 22C to 26C. Thus Arabidopsis thaliana can be grown easily in the laboratory and also in abundant quantity (Masson

Plant Genetics JANICE NALBONE Abstract This experiment is being done to show Mendel’s rule of dominance that says certain alleles are dominant and others are recessive. To show this‚ we are using tobacco seeds‚ a monohybrid cross comparing only one trait color. We are also showing Mendel’s law of segregation with a Dihybrid cross comparing two traits of color and texture. Introduction

traits of its offspring? Aim: to establish whether characteristics produced from the offspring of a drosophila cross are recessive or dominant traits. Hypothesis: If certain phenotypes are expressed in the offspring from the cross of certain Drosophila‚ then the determination or justification of recessive or dominant phenotypes can be found. Theory review and justification of the hypothesis: Drosophila Melanogaster are simply now generally referred as the common term “fruit fly” or “vinegar fly”

dominant or recessive. A dominant allele has a different phenotype than a recessive allele. Phenotypes are simply the observable traits seen in a living organism. An example of phenotype is a dominant allele for hair color is Brown‚ while the recessive allele for hair color is Blonde. They both are for the same gene‚ but are different outcomes of the gene. A dominant allele overrides a recessive allele. In order to have a recessive phenotype‚ two recessive alleles need to be given to the offspring

Phenotypes are the representations of gene activity in an individual; they are the physical characteristics rather than the genetic makeup itself. Though phenotypes are determined by genetic code‚ they are not permanent; they can shift and change according to the different environments an individual experiences in their life. Environmental factors are an integral part in determining phenotype. The fairly new scientific field on this subject is known as epigenetics‚ and it “serves as a link between

This operation expresses our phenotype and affects our genotype. 2. How does an organism’s genotype determine its phenotype? The separation between phenotype and genotype is the knowledge and understanding of an organisms development and heredity. When we talk about the genotype of an organism‚ it just means the class to which that organism belongs. This is mainly determined by the material that is passed on to the organisms from its parents. The phenotype is the process of determining
