One branch of the criticism focuses on whether the Act improves competition and benefits consumers, or merely aids inefficient businesses at the expense of more innovative ones.
Drosophila melanogaster, also known as the fruit fly, is a small insect that is commonly found near ripening fruit. Drosophila is a widely used model organism for scientific research and the study of this organism has provided insight into eukaryotic genetics and human disease.
Gregor Mendel was the first to describe the principles of inheritance that are the basis for classical genetics and the development of modern genetics. The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate Mendelian patterns and principles of inheritance. You will use corn as the model organism in this lab. Corn was one of the first model organisms to be used in genetics, but it is not often used today due to the long (one year) generation time. We will use corn to demonstrate Mendelian principles of genetics.
