How did the Drosophilia melanogaster impact Genetics? Thomas Hunt Morgan used Drosophila melanogaster for studying heredity. Morgan used the Drosophila melanogaster‚ known as the fruit fly‚ because it feeds on decaying fruit. It is small‚ about 3 mm long‚ and easy to raise in the laboratory; a thousand can be collected in a one-quart glass milk bottle. Moreover‚ it is fertile all year long and very prolific‚ producing a new generation every twelve days‚ or thirty generations per year. Not only

Mendel pea method was legitimate. That recessive and dominant gene does play an important role and does determine the outcome of the offspring characteristics and traits. So the science committee made a mutual decision to make Mendel the father of Genetics.

February 20th‚ 2014 Lab report 4 Abstract This pBlu lab had for purpose to present the changes of the strain of E. coli bacteria due to new genetic information being introduced into the cell. In this experiment we are freezing and heat shocking the E. Coli bacteria that is then forced to take the plasmid DNA. The E. coli then transforms the pBLu plasmid‚ which carries the genes coding for two identifiable phenotypes. After following the Carolina Biological steps our lab worked well and we able

The paper I chose to write a rebuttal on focuses on genetic cloning and its religious ethics. The basis of this article is that cloning a human being is wrong and scientists should know better to do so. The author argues‚ just because we can do something does not mean we should. Many people reference the bible as stating God created everything and if we clone living biological entities‚ then we are assuming the role of God and creating life. In this article‚ the author makes the point that God is

What are the benefits of human genetic engineering? The benefits of human genetic engineering can be found in the headlines nearly every day. With the successful cloning of mammals and the completion of the Human Genome Project‚ scientists all over the world are aggressively researching the many different facets of human genetic engineering. These continuing breakthroughs have allowed science to more deeply understand DNA and its role in medicine‚ pharmacology‚ reproductive technology‚ and countless
