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

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

Title: Grip Strength and Muscle Fatigue I. Purpose/Hypothesis: In this lab the subject will grip on a scale that measures the amount of force being put on it. We will observe the change in hand strength during continuous grip over time. Then we will also measure hand strength during rapid‚ repetitive gripping. I believe that hand strength will weaken during a continuous grip more than if you were to keep a repetitive grip. II. Procedure: 1. Connect the Hand Dynamomenter to LabQuest and select

Courtney Jablonowski Dr. Peterson Lab Report 1 June 17‚ 2012 Results The tooth formula is a shorthand technique that biologist use to keep track of the teeth on a particular jaw. The formula consisted of two lines‚ top jaw and bottom jaw‚ which were used to count how many incisors‚ canines‚ premolars‚ and molar teeth a species had. Species A‚ Odocoileus virginiaus (white-tailed deer)‚ had a tooth formula of 0033/3133. On the top jaw‚ the deer had zero incisor and canine teeth but have

FRUIT FLY PURPOSE: The purpose of this lab is to determine what genetics are dominant and which one is recession in the fruit fly and to see what genetics are past down from generation to generation. INTERODUCTUON: Mendel’s pea did and experiment that was

AP Biology Lab Report Investigation 12: Fruit Fly Behavior Abstract: In the lab that was conducted‚ students were supposed to examine the tendencies of fruit flies‚ specifically Drosophila’s‚ to move toward or away from important stimuli that aide in their survival‚ also known as taxis. Another objective for this lab was to identify the patterns and relationships between environmental factors and a living organism. Students are supposed to use two bottles to allow the flies to choose which

Fruit Fly Lab Alycia Fletcher Biology IB HL March 25th 2010 Fruit Fly Lab Introduction Genes can either be sex-linked or autosomal. If a gene appears mostly in one sex chances are the gene is sex-linked and if it appears frequently in both sexes it is most likely autosomal. Using Drosophila melanogaster‚ also known as the fruit fly‚ we will determine whether the gene is sex-linked or autosomal. Drosophila melanogasters have a relatively short life span and are an excellent organism

Their scientific name is Drosophila melanogaster‚ and to scientists‚ they have been a key to understand many principles of heredity including sex linked inheritance‚ epistasis‚ multiple alleles‚ and gene mapping.
