In the past six weeks of genetic lab we have been doing an experiment about fruit fly (drosophila melanogaster); we had the opportunity to learn more of how to distinguish between the male and female drosophila; one way that helps me was to look for the sex comb and the size. The purpose of this experiment was to learn more and be able to understand the Mendelian Genetics. We did an actual cross of fruit fly (drosophila melanogaster) such as the monohybrid, dihybrid, X-linked A, X-linked B and…

The bumblebee is an insect belonging to the Apidae family, a subcategory branching out from the Anthophila clade. The bumblebee belongs specifically to what is identified as the Bombini tribe of bees, this tribe consists of large apid bees that commonly feed on pollen or nectar. The Bumblebee belongs specifically to the Bombus genus classification. Bumblebees require an ambient amount of flowing plants in their habitat. Flowers play a prominent role in a prosperous bumblebee habitat, this is…

the moth relates to the movie. Furthermore, the overall life-cycle of the moth relates to the characters’ growth and evolution during the course of the movie (Robbins, 82). The growth of the moth includes three distinctive stages starting from the larva, pupa, and adult moth stage. Starling, the main character, undergoes personal growth and evolution changes throughout the film. Hence the lifecycle of the moth symbolizes a transformation of Starling as a character in the film (Fuller, 822).…

Introduction The western or European honey bee has the genus name Apis Mellifera which means "bee" and "honey bearing". Honey bee body has 3 parts, two pairs of wings, six legs and two compound eyes. Moreover, there are three kinds of honey bees in a hive, one Queen bee, many worker bees and a few drones. They have different chore in the hive. They live in colonies or hives and collect nectar and pollen as their food. Honey bees are also known as the best pollinators when they visit from one…

bacteria is transmitted to us through something called the chigger bite. The Chigger bite is when the mite bites the victim and spreads the toxins. A chigger is the larval stage of Leptotrombidium. The mite starts as an egg, then develops into larva, after the larva stage comes the nymph, and then the mite matures into an adult. When the mite bites into skin and releases digestive enzymes, which digests our cells. The symptoms of the disease is a scab on the skin from where the mite bite the…

1 INTRODUCTION Drosophila Melanogaster, also known as the fruit fly, is a most valuable organism in biological research that has made significant contributions particularly in genetics and research. It is used as a model organism in research for several reasons viz. Easily handled, sexually dimorphic, cheap and easy to keep large numbers, care and culture requires little equipments and well understood because of its short life cycle of just two weeks and also Entire genome of drosophila…

In this article, foeniculum vulgare is assayed in vitro for antibacterial activity. They used 27 phytopathogenic bacterial species and 2 myropathogenic bacterial species. A significant antibacterial activity is determined by agar diffusion method and reported that foeniculum vulgare essential oil is useful for natural bacterial to control of bacterial disease of plant and seed mainly in organic agriculture. In day today life people used to smoking, poor diet maintenance…

caterpillar. As children, many of us learn about the wondrous process by which a caterpillar morphs into a butterfly. The story usually begins with a very hungry caterpillar hatching from an egg. The caterpillar, or what is more scientifically termed a larva, stuffs itself with leaves, growing plumper and longer through…

drosophila’s DNA. This was accomplished through EMS, a chemical that is known to cause random single-base mutations on the X-chromosome. After they obtained multiple mutated larvae, they used behavioral analysis to determine the responsiveness of each larva. As a control, they tested normal, wild-type flies to determine the four responses that could be consistently reproduced. They interpreted their observations from the behavioral analysis by using a scoring system in which each successful…

worm but the larval stage of the mealworm beetle which is also called the darkling beetle (Tenebrio molitor). Like all holometabolic insects, the darkling beetle experiences a complete metamorphosis and goes through four distinct life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The duration of each stage varies significantly due to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and food. A female Darkling beetle lays about 270-500 small, white bean shaped eggs. Depending on water temperature,…
