time with police murdering innocent black men, women and children, and the more recent event of having a raging racist elected as the USA’s new president. That is why I have decided to write my essay on “Strange Fruit” by Abel Meeropol performed most famously by Billie Holiday. “Strange Fruit” is perhaps the most iconic protest song in recent memory. With a haunting piano intro followed by Billie Holiday’s shaking voice this song shot to fame being nominated for a bevy of awards, and for good…

asecondary goal in conductingathis lab was to study and comprehend mendelian genetics. In this experiment, Drosophilaamelanogaster, commonlyaknown as fruit flies, were used to studyaand understand the principles of mendelianagenetics. D. melanogasterawas also used as a model to identifyathe patterns of inheritance of certainamutant traits in fruit flies. Mendel’salaw ofasegregation is important in understandingagenetic inheritance. It statesathat each pair of homologousatrait carrying particles…

Introduction: Drosophila melanogaster, which commonly is known as fruit fly, has been used in genetic study for centuries. They tend to give birth to a large amount of offspring while their life cycles and generations are short. Their genes can be mutated easily by radiation or mutagens in food. They have four large chromosomes with approximately fourteen thousands genes. As expected, human have several times more gene than D. melanogaster, however, we have almost the same number of gene…

Introduction Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as fruit fly or vinigar fly coming under the family Drosophilidae. The normal life span of the flies are generally 30 – 60 days and it may vary depend upon the external conditions. These flies are sexually dimorphic. The female flies are comparatively bigger than the male flies. The males flies and females fly can be easily distinguish with size difference and the colour pattern. The male flies have a dark band on the abdomen. The presence…

as model organisms due to their relatively small size as well as their inexpensive and simple diet. Fruit flies also have to ability to reproduce in large amounts considering their relatively short life cycles. The advantage of constant reproduction as well as their large polytene chromosomes allow scientists to determine the gene’s location on a chromosome/ proper gene mapping. Because of this, fruit flies have been used in research for a cure of tumorous cancers. Ross L. Cagan and his…

Fruit Flies Coming Out Of Your Sink? 3 Methods For Getting Rid Of Them Fruit flies can be incredibly annoying to have in your home, with them seemingly appearing out of nowhere. You can try all the usual tricks, such as putting away vegetables and fruits on your countertops or using traps, but that may not do the trick of removing them for good. Chances are that you have overlooked your kitchen’s sink. That food waste that is stuck in the pipe or garbage disposal could be the source of the fruit…

Chiquita Brands International Inc. is a multinational producer, distributer and marketer of bananas mainly and other fresh fruit products. The banana division only consists of 19,000 employees mainly working in more than 100 banana farms in countries throughout Latin America like Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Ecuador , Costa Rica , Panama and Colombia . It has always cared about their employees who were living in houses (owned by Chiquita) in the banana farms. The company used to provide…

The fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine is any evidence that was gathered as a result of an illegal search. Also, illegal questioning cannot be used against the individual being searched even if the evidence was gathered lawfully at a later time. The terminology is that the source of the evidence is tainted (which is considered the tree), then the evidence that is gained from the source, is tainted as well (which is the fruit). Although the fruit of the poisonous tree is nothing more than a…

substances on the number of fruit flies Maya Nalawade, Erik Pan, Alec Chen Introduction The fruit fly is a species of the common housefly, known as Drosophila Melanogaster. But for our convenience, we are utilising a certain genetically modified species without wings. Adults typically grow to approximately 1/8 inch long and have red eyes. The front portion of the body is tan and the rear portion is black and striped. Fruit flies are especially attracted to ripened fruits and…

wings of these flies is because Drosophila melanogaster males perform mating dances that involve them extending their wings and vibrating rapidly. Presumably, the successfulness a male has in mating will be in large contributed to the types of wing a fruit fly has and its ability to perform an attractive mating dance. While examining the overall change in evolution, it is necessary to…
