Save the chosen alleles from your new bug. 2) Enter your results onto tables b & c 3) Find another group with an offspring bug of the opposite gender. Complete table d 4) Create a new offspring bug 5) Record this data in table e 6) With the same mate, create another offspring bug. Fill in table f 7) Use your data to build your original offspring bug based on the results (table c) 8) Analyze your data and answer the follow up questions - Label the next section “Part IV – Data” and include the following: Table a) Make a copy of the green table on p. 77. Add “Gender” as one of the categories Table b) Create a table like the purple one in the book (p. 77).
To manipulate the flies, they are anesthetized using CO2 that is administered through the FlowBuddyTM device with a 5 L/min flow rate. Once immobile, the flies are examined and scored under a 10.5-45X magnification stereomicroscope. The flies are returned to the incubation chamber set at 25ºC to facilitate optimal growth conditions. The first discriminant cross, DC1, is made by crossing mutant virgin females with Curly/Plum; Dichaete/Stubble marker males. Depending on the genetic outcome of DC1, the second discriminant cross, DC2, is made by crossing female wild-type virgins with F1 males if the unknown mutation is dominant, or by crossing F1 males with mutant females if the unknown mutation is recessive.
Introduction: Sow Bugs, small land crustaceans, have oval bodies with armor like plating, live in humid and cool environments such as logs and leaf litter, and are chosen to be used to test for taxis, movement towards or away from a stimulus. Both chemotaxis, movement in response to chemicals, and phototaxis, movement in response to light, are tested in this experimental procedure. The purpose of this experiment is to test the response of Sow Bugs to a light and a chemical source, showing whether they exhibit taxis to a certain stimulus. Body spray was used because it exhibited all the attributes of a potential chemical substance. It has color and smell and being in a liquid and a gas form.
B B Bb | Bb | Bb | Bb | b b All (Bb) heterozygous genotypes are expressing the phenotype of black eyes. If we do another cross for F2 generation we will find 2 heterozygous black eyes, 1 homozygous black eye and 1 homozygous brown eye among the offspring. The punnet square is as follows: B b BB | Bb | Bb | bb | B b The genotypic ratio is – 1(BB):2(Bb):1(bb). The phenotypic ratio is – 3:1. DROSOPHILIA MELANOGASTER AS A MODEL FOR STUDYING GENETICS Drosophila melanogaster also known as the fruit fly is used commonly in the study of genetics.
The long, thin ascus causes both meiotic spindles and the mitotic spindles to be aligned during spore formation. As a result, the positioning of the ascospores directly reflects the arrangement of homologous chromosome pairs during metaphase I of meiosis (Glase, 1995). This allows us to detect which alleles were exchanged creating crossovers. Sexual reproduction in the S. fimicola is important because an it allows for a significant source of genetic variability, and allows the fungus to adapt to new environments (Fincham, 1971). This genetic variability is obtained when crossovers occur between

Testing Using the virtual lab found at www.weymouthhsbiology.wikispaces.com, the experiment will be run to analyze cricket chirp rate. The variables that will be observed are: * # of crickets nearby * Air temperature (25°C) * Atmospheric pressure (760 mm) * Humidity (15%) * Wind speed (2M/SEC) During each of my experiments, I will keep the above constant and vary a single change. This experiment will use the virtual lab and collect and analyze the data. Data collection Atmospheric Pressure | Pressure | Chirps | 700 | 148 | 730 | 148 | 760 | 148 | Wind speed | Wind speed | Chirps | 0 | 148 | 2 | 148 | 4 | 148 | Temperature | Temp | Chirps | 5°C | 4 | 15°C | 76 | 24°C | 141 | 32°C | 198 | 45°C | 292 | Number of crickets #Crickets | Chirps | 0 | 148 | 10 | 148 | 20 | 148 | Percent Humidity | Humidity | Chirps | 10 | 148 | 15 | 148 |

Analysis of Sow Bug Behavior in Selective Environments Abstract The purpose of this lab was to observe the behavior of sow bugs in different environments when given a choice of two different environments to be in. The observations were conducted through two different experiments. In the first experiment we observed the sow bugs preference of environment between a dirt environment and a sand environment. This was done by placing the sow bugs in an environment that featured isolated areas of sand and dirt in equally divided sections and recording what section they were positioned in every minute for 5 minutes. It was observed that the sow bugs spent more time in dirt environment than in the sand environment because the sow bugs had more recorded positions in the dirt environment.
