Genetic studies in model organisms, including Drosophila, have a rich history of fundamental insights in neuroscience, including the identification and functional dissection of genes important in ...

No single animal has contributed as much to the field of genetics as the ordinary and ubiquitous Drosophila melanogaster. These tiny, winged, exoskeleton-ed creatures—so different from us in ...

Split the alleles for each parental type and add them into your Punnett square around the edges. Work out the new possible genetic combinations inside the Punnett square. Use this to answer the ...

Many genetic tools have been developed over the past 100 years to manipulate the genome of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster; despite the success of most of these methods, some limitations need ...

Single-Gene Test Crosses Recall that in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the ebony-body allele (e) is recessive to the normal yellow-body allele (E). Say you are given a male fly with a ...
