Introduction Drosophila melanogaster is a common fruit fly that has been useful for most experiments in the study of Genetics. The male and the female fruit fly are similar and different in regards to how they look‚ structurally. They are similar because both genders have a head‚ thorax‚ proboscis‚ antennae‚ eyes‚ and mouth parts. However‚ males are smaller than females and have about five abdominal segments as opposed to the seven that the female has. The life cycle of these fruit flies consist

of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely dominant over the other allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the dominant and recessive phenotypes. Incomplete dominance is similar to‚ but different from co-dominance. In co-dominance‚ an additional phenotype is produced ‚ however both alleles are expressed completely. Co-dominance is exemplified in AB blood type inheritance. Incomplete dominance is

describe how to use the phenotype ratios to determine the percentage of offspring displaying each trait. Well for one once you have the phenotypes all done on your Punnet Square then you go through and see what ratio of the offspring got the traits of the parents. For mine were to create phenotypes with 50% from each so my ratios were 2:4. 2. Can the genotype for a gray-bodied fly be determined? Why or why not? Describe all of the possible genotypes for a fly with that phenotype. Yes the genotype

One bright and sunny Australian afternoon‚ Joy the Christmas Island Crab met her dream crab‚ a ten-legged green caped crab. They fell in love and had a beautiful crab wedding. The Generation one crustacean body’s phenotype was a plastic cup while the genotype was BB. The legs’ phenotypes were pearly white pipe cleaners and the genotype was ff. The crustacean had deep blue pom poms for eyes and the genotype was Ii. For antennae‚ the crustacean had soft qtips and the genotypes were Kk. One of Joy’s

experiment is a replica of Mendel’s and it will show how his ideas still apply to nowadays phenomena. 1.2 OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the experiment are: • To demonstrate how genes interact with each other to produce different appearances (phenotypes) • To relate Mendel’s laws of genetics to our current experiment using‚ red and striped beans respectively. • To apply statistics to our biological experiment i.e. using Chi-Square Technique 2.0 Materials and Methods Two containers each

inheritance in FlyLab follows Mendelian principles of complete dominance. Examples of incomplete dominance are not demonstrated with this simulation. A table of the mutant phenotypes available in FlyLab can be viewed by clicking on the Genetic Abbreviations tab which appears at the top of the FlyLab homepage. When you select a particular phenotype‚ you are not provided with any information about the dominance or recessiveness of each mutation. FlyLab will select a fly that is homozygous for the particular mutation

Observing Anthocyanin in Brassica rapa Abstract The foundation of genetics lies with the principles that Gregor Mendel outlined after his experiments with pea plants where he discovered the relationship between physical characteristics‚ or phenotype‚ and genetic traits‚ or genotype. This experiment aimed to reproduce Mendel’s results with the Brassica rapa plant‚ noted for it’s fast generation time‚ and anthocyanin‚ a purple pigment that can be visually tracked through subsequent generations

cells. (Hanazawa et al.‚ 2011) Here we address whether the depletion of ribosomal protein and translation factors (RPTFs) during early developmental stages result in the expression of germ granules in the larval intestine. We hypothesized that this phenotype would be common to the depletion of other RPTFs. After testing 93 RPTFs‚ our observations suggest that the somatic misexpression of germ granules is caused by the depletion of a small subset of RPTFs and not depletion of RPTFs in general.

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.
