a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The evidence that suggests genetic eye determinants in Drosophila are also found in humans and to give a discussion of orthologous genes.

Introduction:

The Drosophila melanogaster is the widely used model organism in the field of genetics and developmental biology. It is also called as the fruit fly. It is suitable for laboratory studies since it carries only four chromosomes and hence creating a loss of function and gain of function of these genes is very easy. There are various reason for using this as a model organism which includes low cost, morphology is easy to identify, small in size, genetic crossing can be done, etc.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
