Resumen

Las diferencias genéticas que ocurren naturalmente en el comportamiento son difíciles de estudiar. Sin embargo, el gen forrajeador (for) en las moscas de la fruta muestra que los niveles de proteína quinasa G (PKG) influyen directamente en el comportamiento de búsqueda de alimentos, lo que explica las variaciones de comportamiento naturales.

Área de la Ciencia:

Genética del comportamiento genética del comportamiento.
Neuroetología La neuroetología.
Drosophila melanogaster investigación de la investigación de la Drosophila melanogaster, también conocido como Drosophila melanogaster.

Sus antecedentes:

Las variaciones de comportamiento que ocurren naturalmente son difíciles de vincular con genes específicos.
El gen de búsqueda de alimento (for) en Drosophila melanogaster exhibe dos comportamientos distintos de búsqueda de alimentos: rover y sitter.
Investigaciones anteriores indicaron que el mapeo genético del gen forrajeador era difícil.

Position-effect Variegation

Position-effect Variegation

In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes

In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female Drosophila...
