Discuss the genetic traits of a Fruit Fly: Why were fruit files chosen for research for genetics?
Homework Answers
Ans) The genetic traits of fruit fly are-
Wild type-long aristae,long legs, grey body,long wings, red eyes
Mutant type-short aristae, short legs, black body, purple eyes, vestigial wings.
Fruit fly is chosen for research because-
1)There is closeness of genes in fruitflies and humans.
2)They have short and simple reproductive cycle which is normally of 8-14 days.
3)It is small and can easily be kept in the laboratory.
4)They have easily distinct contrasting characters.
5)They require a very simple diet and so do not pose any problem.

1. While the traits studied in Exercise 1 were hypothetical genetic traits, what type of genetic traits do you think are important to study and predict? Give an example of a genetic trait that is carefully monitored when two parents are creating an offspring and why it would be important to monitor. 2. Describe a karyotype and explain how it is performed. 3. Would a normal karyotype mean that a person would not have any disorder or disease in their...

1 point) The common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is the most studied organism in genetic research because it is small, easy to grow, and reproduces rapidly. The length of the thorax (where the wings and legs attach) in a population of male fruit fies is approximately Normal with mean 0.800 millimeters (mm) and standard deviation 0.078 mm. Note: Use Table A to find the proportion below (a) What proportion of flies have thorax length 0.83 mm or longer? (b) What...

Genetic Traits and genetic disorders are influenced in one way or another by the environment. On the other hand, the heritability of a disorder examines the variations in multifactorial traits due to genetics in a particular population and focuses on the genetic component of variations seen in a trait. Select a genetic disorder caused by a single-gene trait that is multifactorial. Explain how your chosen genetic disorder is influenced by the environment. Select two diseases—one with high heritability and one...

The length of the thorax (where the wings and legs attach) in a population of male fruit flies is approximately Normal with mean 0,800 millimeters (mm) and standard deviation 0.078 mm. Draw a Normal curve on which this mean and standard deviation are correctly located (Hint: Draw an unlabeled Normal curve, locate one, two...

Genetic researchers use fruit flies as a model organism in their research because of the diversity of different traits available to study (e.g. body length, eye color, number of bristles, etc.). One such researcher is investigating the typical number of bristles found on the abdomen of fruit flies. He collects a simple random sample of 57 flies from a wildtype population. The mean number of bristles for his sample is 8.5 (standard deviation is 3.4). If the researcher uses a...
