Calculating Probable Theoretical Offspring Genotype in Fruit Flies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Being able to calculate an offspring's theoretical genotype is critical in genetic sciences. We the and phenotype of fruit fly offspring. Using product rule, we determine probability for each trait then genotype. In conclusion, 64 different genotypes that are supposed be possible, but only 8 phenotypes possible.

EVOLUTION. Fruit flies diversify their offspring in response to parasite infection.
The evolution of sexual reproduction is often explained by Red Queen dynamics: Organisms must continually evolve to maintain fitness relative to interacting organisms, such as parasites. Recombination accompanies sexual reproduction and helps diversify an organism's offspring, so that parasites cannot exploit static host genotypes. Here we show that Drosophila melanogaster plastically increases...
متن کاملFruit flies in biomedical research.
Many scientists complain that the current funding situation is dire. Indeed, there has been an overall decline in support in funding for research from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Within the Drosophila field, some of us question how long this funding crunch will last as it demotivates principal investigators and perhaps more importantly affects the long...
متن کاملFruit flies step out
A method that can analyse the movements of Drosophila as they walk is a valuable addition to the tools available to neurobiologists, and has already led to insights into the interplay of central networks and sensory feedback in this model organism.
متن کاملAutomated Surveillance of Fruit Flies
Insects of the Diptera order of the Tephritidae family cause costly, annual crop losses worldwide. Monitoring traps are important components of integrated pest management programs used against fruit flies. Here we report the modification of typical, low-cost plastic traps for fruit flies by adding the necessary optoelectronic sensors to monitor the entrance of the trap in order to detect, time-...
متن کاملFruit flies and intellectual disability
Mental retardation—known more commonly nowadays as intellectual disability—is a severe neurological condition affecting up to 3% of the general population. As a result of the analysis of familial cases and recent advances in clinical genetic testing, great strides have been made in our understanding of the genetic etiologies of mental retardation. Nonetheless, no treatment is currently clinical...
