Chapter 20, Problem 6IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The consequences of the experimenters on fliesafter 20 generations that moved from dark towards the light.
Introduction: Animals use the different types of environmental conditions as their behaviorual modifications. For example, some organisms live in the presence of sunlight, whereas others live away from the direct sunlight. The organism that moves towards the light is called the positive phototaxis, and that moves against the direction of light are called the negative phototaxis.

After several generations, you notice that the viability of the flies has decreased greatly. Recognizing that small population size is likely to be linked to decreased viability, the best way to reverse this trend is to cross your flies with flies from another lab. True or falsearrow_forwardPeppered Moth Experiment Researchers wanted to further test the idea that Peppered Moth populations around London really shifted due to their increased visibility to predators on dark trees. Researchers constructed two sample forest plots, each surrounded by bird-proof netting. In both enclosures they captured ALL the moths and ALL the birds. Trees in each enclosure were stripped of lichens so they ALL had dark bark. The treatments for each enclosure were as follows: Enclosure A: 50 dark-colored moths and 50 light-colored moths were released. Enclosure B: 50 dark-colored moths and 50 light-colored moths were released, plus 10 birds. Proportions of dark and light moths were monitored in each enclosure for 10 years by thorough sampling (sampling did not harm moths). Results for moth populations after 10 years are reported in the chart below. In addition, the bird population in Enclosure B was remained fairly constant over the 10 years and no birds appeared in Enclosure A. Enclosure…arrow_forward
- You were given 1000 fruit flies to start a new laboratory colony. Before starting to breed your fruit flies, you decided to determine their genetic make up. You counted approximately 360 fruit flies that have vestigial wings, a recessive trait. What is the frequency of the fruit flies that are carriers for the vestigial allele but have normal wings?

You have designed a small experiment and have put out 500 peanuts in their shells into a defined area. You use green food coloring to dye half of the peanuts so they blend into the grass. You don't do anything to the other half of the peanuts. You count the number of peanuts that are LEFT on the ground after a week. You count 27 plain peanuts remaining on the grass and 102 green peanuts remaining on the grass.

You will need to brainstorm for several minutes on how you could extend the life of dogs. You should refer to the example of the fruit flies from lecture.As part of this project, the breeders will need to put together an informational brochure to hand out to veterinarians and prospective owners of the dogs, which discusses: first, how dogs' age will be extended, then, some of the potential consequences of having a pet that lives for such a long time. The brochure will need to inform prospective owners that these dogs may live 40 or more years. It should point out that someone who is 30+ years old may have to plan on care for the pet if it were to outlive him or her. Also, there will be more lifetime costs associated with these dogs simply because they live so long. These dogs may be prone to diseases that are not seen in dogs with shorter life spans.
