explain the first gene map of chromosome of drosophila by alfred strurtevants?

Q01: In a breeding experiment a pure bred black rabbit was crossed with pure bred white one. All the F1

offspring were black.

(a) Explain this information by means of a genetic diagram.

(b) If the F1 generation were allowed to interbreed, what proportion of the F2 generation would be

expected to be heterozygous.

(c) If you were given a black rabbit, how would you attempt to find out whether it is heterozygous

or homozygous?

How can selective breeding and cloning be used to make superior humans?

•  Although the DNA in our genes is considered to be the heritable genetic material, other factors, including the environment are considered to play an important role in the activity and expression of those genes. Summarize the role that epigenetics & developmental epigenetics play in health & disease. 

•  Write a brief outline of the mechanisms in which DNA is used to generate protein. You do not need to provide a fine level of detail, but ensure you reflect on the key points in the process and mention any major differences between the mechanism in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

1. Research Bioremediation as an application of metagenomics, and comment on how this mechanism can be utilized as an environmental management intervention within your community. Here are some videos to get you started:
