Male Specific Neurons In Flies

Even if the prey is about to escape, did you see flies chasing other flies in the room and wondering how they can always be nearby? Okay, some scientists want to know. They are interested in this "mating pursuit" of male fly after the female flew. When a man is absorbed in pursuit, it can be said that the woman is trying hard to study. Men almost always get his "prey". However, even if the female attempts to follow a fly, there is no such luck.

Male fruit flies fly through court women through a series of "hard-wired" or genetic programming activities. The gene called doublesex produces anatomical and behavioral differences between men and women in many animal species. In male fruit fly, the doublesex gene is active in approximately 650 neurons, and certain cell populations control the various steps of the courtship ritual. However, there is no understanding of how to adjust the different steps involved in mating to ensure successful mating

Male flies sing to women using feathers during courtship to sound, characterizing genetics of several sexual behaviors. In particular, futile genes have several different splicing forms and male fruit fly expressing female splice forms have feminine behavior and vice versa. The TRP channels nompC, nanchung and inactive are expressed in acoustically sensitive organ neurons of Johnston and are involved in sound transduction. It is relatively easy to rely on various techniques to produce transgenic fruit fly in Drosophila. One method of inserting a foreign gene into the Drosophila genome involves a P element. A transposon P element, also known as a transposon, is a bacterial DNA fragment that is transferred to the fly genome. Genetically engineered fruit fly has contributed to many scientific progress such as modeling human diseases such as Parkinson's disease, neoplasia, obesity and diabetes.
