Determining Inheritance Patterns by Studying Alleles That Cause Ebony Bodies and Vestigial Wings in Drosophila Melanogaster

Drosophila is a small fruit fly that likes to lay eggs on them when they fall on sweet fruits. The details of those cells and molecules are unexpected and have a genetic pattern very similar to humans. Those features and features, even if they are very small fruit fly, are not simple, they are also perfect experimental subjects for Mendelian genetics and non-Mendellian genetics studies. This is because they are easy to cultivate in a laboratory, construction time is short, and many offspring can be produced.

Drosophila melanogaster is a useful drosophila in biological research, especially genetics and developmental biology. (Manning, 1997) For the purpose of this experiment, Using Melanogaster, Mendelian inheritance patterns commonly found in genetic studies were investigated. The results of the final offspring indicate whether the trait of Drosophila is a product of an independent classification that is a Mendelian inheritance model or whether the non-Mendelian inheritance model is valid.

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the inheritance of sexual linkage genes in lozenges and white eyes of Drosophila melanogaster in pure white diamond male samples and to investigate the influence of chain distance on allelic classification. During meiosis, in three generations of Drosophila melanogaster. This is done by comparing the predicted and actual values ​​of these alleles. Drosophila melanogaster is widely used in genetic studies. Some of the reasons why Drosophila is so popular in genetic research are that they are very small and easy to grow in the laboratory. They have a short life cycle and produce new generation fruit flies every two weeks. Female fruit flies can produce hundreds of fertilized eggs during their short life span.

Genetic Linkage Map of Drosophila Thomas Hunt Morgan This is the first successful genetic mapping study to provide important evidence for genetic chromosome theory. This figure shows the relative position of allele features on the second Drosophila chromosome. The distance between genes (unit of map) is equal to the ratio of crossing events occurring between different alleles. Genetic markers are commonly used in Drosophila research, such as the insertion of balanced chromosomes and P elements, and most phenotypes can be readily identified with the naked eye or microscope. In the following list of some common markers, followed by the allele symbol followed by the name of the affected gene and a description of its phenotype. (Note: recessive allele is lowercase, dominant allele is uppercase.)
