    Drosophila Paper Discussion Portion Discussion The hypothesis was supported during the experiment. We originally hypothesized that if parental strains of stock D. melanogaster were mated, the ratios of the phenotypes in the F1 generation would be completely random and follow the laws of segregation and independent assortment. Under such assumption, the 3 genes examined in this experiment would not be linked, and the final observed number of F1 flies with each phenotype would equal the expected…

    Herritability estimates is the ratio to which a certain trait or behavior is found to be from the genes in one's body or from the environment. My description can be backed up from the textbook Life-Span Human Development 7th Edition, by Carol Sigelman. On page 85 on the textbook, it states that "it has been proven difficult to find a human characteristic that is not to some degree heritable. Genes often account for up to half of the variations of the group." On page 86 of the textbook it also…

    Drosophila Fruit Fly

    also known as the fruit fly, was the primary research subject for Thomas Morgan. In 1910, Morgan used the fruit fly as an experiment to discover new mutations which could represent new species. Using the flies to research about heredity gave way to Gregor Mendel’s confirmation of his Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance which suggests that the chromosomes are the carriers of genetic information. The sex of the fly is important when culturing Drosophila and making genetic crosses. There are factors…

    Ectodermal Dysplasia Jonathan Moon American Fork Junior High A2 2/24/17 Abstract Ectodermal Dysplasia is a group of conditions that interfere with the normal functions of skin, hair, nails, teeth or sweat glands. These abnormalities cause various issues with everyday activities such as eating, brushing hair, exercising, and blinking. This paper will explain how this disease occurs, its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Causes of ED Ectodermal Dysplasia, or ED, is a genetic disorder that…

    “Who made what?” After learning the different variations of genetic traits passed down to the offspring, my team and I were influenced to conduct research regarding the genetic variations of fruit flies. “Which mode of inheritance do the yellow body and curly wing trait follow?” After coordinating research, it is evident that: Because only 2 yellow bodies can only reproduce other yellow bodies, Curly wings can have either Curly or Wild-wing off spring, and the characteristics of dominant and…

    As Eden explained, Ebenezer Howard has stated that he had combined three projects to create his scheme of Garden city (Eden, 1947). These projects are the proposal for organized migratory movement of population by Edward Gibbon Wakefield and Professor Alfred Marshall; the proposal for land tenure system by Thomas Spence and Herbert Spencer; and the model city called Victoria by James Silk Buckingham. This idea can be supported by Batchelor as he noted that Ebenezer Howard wrote his proposal for…

    For our table clinic we decided to research Marden-Walker syndrome. Marden-Walker syndrome is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder (3). This disease involves the oral cavity, facial features and other body parts. This disorder has distinct facial features that can allow you to differientiate this disease from others. Marden-Walker syndrome is a very rare disease. It affects males more often then females (4). There have only been twenty reported cases of this disease (4). Specific…

    Purpose: The purpose of this simulation is to demonstrate how alleles work and practice the skill of figuring out what genotype is dominate based off of the phenotype of the offsprings. Background info: Fruit flies or Drosophila melanogaster work best in experiments because Drosophila melanogaster has 60% of genes that are mutated, amplified, or deleted in human diseases. Drosophila melanogaster also has a short lifespan which makes them best for quick experiments. They also mate and develop…

    The offspring look like their parents because each parent gives them half of their genetic material to their children. Coupled with, the Punnett square. The Punnett square helps determine the genetic genes a child may have from their parents. In this case, both offsprings can drink milk because their mom has a dominant trait. This allows her to overpower the dad recessive trait, allowing the offspring to drink milk. We focused on Punnett squares, dominate and recessive traits in two worksheets,”…
