Drosophila melanogaster has been studied in genetic research laboratories for almost a century. Because the fruit fly has a short lifespan, a simple genome, and is easily made to reproduce in captivity it is a prime candidate for genetic research. (Patterson, et al., 1943) The major behavioral response noted in the fruit flies is that they tended to group together in clusters, as opposed to venturing off on their own into different sectors. D. melanogaster are attracted to food and will mate…

That one made it to my uterus, and I had a positive pregnancy test. But at eight weeks, there was no heartbeat. We decided to see a specialist because we thought we needed a little science.” After researching and…

Sexual differentiation in monomorphic avian species Madeleine Evans ID: 213023921, Deakin University Waurn Ponds, Course S323 Biomedical Science, Subject SLE254 Genetic Introduction Sexual differentiation is one of the first biological processes to occur during the development of a foetus. There are a variety of methods for sex determination amongst vertebrates including analysis of primary and secondary differentiations. Primary differentiation refers to the presence of gonads, while secondary…

The Red Panda, otherwise known scientifically as Ailurus fulgens, reproduces sexually and is generally shy and self-contained except when mating. Red Pandas become sexually mature at around 18 months and the approximate gestation period is around 130 days. Births typically occur in spring and summer, although the majority occur in June where the female will have anywhere from one to five cubs with the average being two cubs. The size of the litter, however, does not affect the gestation length…
