(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The method by which one can identify that specific genes control the development in Drosophila.

Introduction: A gene is the basic functional unit of heredity. The genes are composed of DNA sequences. They control the expression of a particular trait. For example, eye color, skin color, and many more.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The method by which one can identify that molecular gradients are present in the egg of Drosophila.

Introduction: Embryogenesis refers to the process in which the formation and development of the embryo take place. In mammals, the embryogenesis refers to the early stages of prenatal development.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The method by which one can identify that the selector gene specifies the adult structure formed by body segments.

Introduction: The homeotic selector genes are responsible for the segment identity in Drosophila. The homeotic selector genes encode homeodomain proteins that interact with Hox and other homeotic genes.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which one can learn the levels of gene regulation which is involved in vulval development in C. elegans.

Introduction: Gene regulation consists of mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These mechanisms include structural and chemical alterations to the genetic material.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which one can identify that eye formation in all animals is regulated by a binary switch gene.

Introduction: The regulatory switches are the regions of DNA that can be bound with a particular activator or repressor in a sequence-specific manner. They are present near the coding region.

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…
