Drosophila melanogaster is a popular model organism that plays role in the development of Genetics research and learning. The purpose this study was to map lecture activities Indonesia based on utilization during practicum activities. data collected using Google Form-based questionnaire analyzed descriptive statistical analysis. A total 113 alumni from 39 universities were involved as participa...

Drosophila males modulate the interpulse intervals produced during their courtship songs. These song cycles, which are altered by mutations in the clock gene period, exhibit a species-specific variation that facilitates mating. We have used chimeric period gene constructs from Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans in germline transformation experiments to map the genetic control of th...

Gene expression controls the cellular differentiation and morphogenesis for body organisation. Every species has different unique patterns this is influenced by certain group of genes called as homeobox genes. Molecular events are involved in tooth development process or odontogenesis also controlled It was first identified fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster.

Mutator activity associated with the common male recombination (MR) chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster appears to be suppressed in natural populations. Crosses between geographically separated populations, however, lead to the release of mutator activity as measured by a significant increase in visible mutations. Such an increase in mutation in hybrid individuals may be a powerful factor in...

Identifying regions of the Drosophila melanogaster genome that have been recent targets of positive Darwinian selection will provide evidence for adaptations that have helped this species to colonize temperate habitats. We have begun a search for such genomic regions by analyzing multiple loci (about 250) dispersed across the X chromosome in a putatively ancestral population from East Africa an...

Previous studies on adult emergence rhythm of Drosophila melanogaster (DM) done under semi-natural conditions have shown that emergence is correlated to daily changes in temperature, humidity and light at dawn. Recently we showed that under laboratory conditions D. ananassae (DA), a closely related species of DM exhibits patterns in its activity/rest rhythm distinct from the latter. Here, we re...

Nutraceuticals play an essential role in the reduction free radical generation cells. A similar idea was used present study to determine effects of aqueous extracts on organismal toxicities a nontarget organism, Drosophila melanogaster, known as fruit fly. Punica granatum (peel and pulp), Carica papaya (peel), Foeniculum vulgare (seeds), Trigonella foenum-graecum Urtica dioica (leaves) were emp...

The consequences of sexual interactions extend beyond the simple production of offspring. These interactions typically entail direct effects on female fitness, but may also impact the life histories of later generations. Evaluating the cross-generational effects of sexual interactions provides insights into the dynamics of sexual selection and conflict. Such studies can elucidate whether offspr...

In many animal species, learning and memory have been found to play important roles in regulating intra- and interspecific behavioral interactions in varying environments. In such contexts, aggression is commonly used to obtain desired resources. Previous defeats or victories during aggressive interactions have been shown to influence the outcome of later contests, revealing loser and winner ef...
