Instruction: Fruit flies (Drosophila) and Flylab INTRODUCTION Fruit flies are well known flies which are often used in genetics experiments. They are very useful because you can see a lot of phenotypes on the outside of the body. So we are going to look after them to find out how genetics works. Each of you will get three properties (genes) of the flies and you are asked to answer the following questions: 1. Is the allele that causes the phenotype of the gene you inquire dominant or recessive? 2. Is the allele of this gene a lethal factor? 3. 4. Is this gene a X-bound gene? Are two of the genes or all three genes coupled? Material & Methods To find out the questions you can use the program "FLYLAB" which you can find on the Internet. FLYLAB is a kind of a simulation program, with which you can simulate breeding fruit flies. By asking the program to execute all kinds of crossings you can find the answers on the questions above. You will find pictures of the flies that are born and statistics of the numbers of the different phenotypes that arise. You have to write down all the statistic so you can explain you answers on the questions later on. After the computer lesson(s) you must write a report that will be examined. The three genes you have to examine are: -stubble (bristols), incomplete (wing veins) and bar (eye shape) Because the program FLYLAB is only useably when you are registered you have to do the following things. Note that you can use the program just for 1 day. When the time is expired you have to register again. Before you are going to register you must have an email address. - Log in on the site with the address: www.biologylab.awlonline.com click on: free trial click on: Register here fill in your emailaddress and click on: next fill in your first name, last name and zipcode and click on: next fill in: other, school, Travemünde (or the city where you live), Germany (country where you live) and click on: next fill in your "USER ID": (use your own name) choose a question and answer the question and click on: I agree and on: next When everything is OK, you are ready now and you only have to wait for a password, you will receive in your mailbox. When you received your password then you have to go to: www.biologylabsonline.com Choose: Flylab enter you login name and your password and click on: start lab Now you have to wait a few moments before you will see some flies on your screen. On the left side of the screen you can choose the properties for the male and the female fly. When you chose you can let the mate and after a few seconds you will see the offspring. In the first place with pictures of the flies and beneath them the numbers and the phenotypes. When you want to see the statistic you have to choose statistics. note down all the statistics you see. Try to find the answers on all the questions. Introduction into Flylab (Powerpoint presentation) OVERVIEW OVER FLYLAB GENERAL CONTROLS INFOBAR The tabs at the top of the screen allow you to access the Introduction, the Notebook, Assignments, Genetic Abbreviations, and Help. Introduction: This provides an overview and links to background information on the lab. Notebook: Record your own notes on the results of the lab--your hypotheses, details about results, and conclusions. You can also move data from the Results pages directly to the Notebook - see Exporting. Assignments: Doing the assignments is critical to understanding the concepts of this lab. The Assignments here were written to benefit a wide range of general biology classes and you should find them helpful, but check with your instructor before proceeding with any Assignments. Genetic Abbreviations: FlyLab uses a different convention for labeling mutations. This screen shows you a chart of those labels. Glossary: The glossary contains definitions for selected terms in the lab. Help: Brings you to this screen. MAIN SCREEN Offspring Popup Menu: Scroll down the menu in this window to choose the average number of offspring you want to produce in your mating: 100, 1000, or 10,000. The actual number will vary around this average due to simulated "experimental error." Design Flies: Clicking the design box under either fly takes you to the design screen (see details below). Mate: When you have finished designing or selecting both of your flies, click Mate. Images of the new offspring will appear in the bottom view. Select: This button appears below the image of offspring flies. Clicking this button selects a single offspring of the displayed phenotype for mating. The offspring image will be copied to the top of the screen. Remove: This button appears below the image of parent flies. Clicking this button allows you to remove the parent fly so you can replace it by designing another fly or selecting an offspring. INPUT CONTROLS DESIGN SCREEN Design both your female and/or male fly by clicking on the Design box under each fly and choosing genetic characteristics (mutations) from each Category: Bristle, Body Color, Antennae, Eye Color, Eye Shape, Wing Size, Wing Shape, Wing Vein, Wing Angle. You can select only one characteristic from each category. When you have selected a characteristic, a male or female symbol will appear in the category button on the left-hand side after you have selected it. Once you have started an experiment and designed a fly with one or more mutations, the options available to you for the chosen traits will be limited to Wild Type and the one mutation that you have already used. For example, if you design a female with curly wings and select the fly for mating, then the wing shape options available for the male are limited to wild type and curly wings. The options of the other traits will be unaffected. All options become available again after you click on the New Mate button. Wild Type: This is the default value in each category. "Wild Type" represents the normal phenotype found in the "wild." When you have finished selecting all your desired characteristics, click on the Select button and your newly designed fly will appear on the mating screen. Reset All:Click this button to change all previously chosen characteristics back to wild type. New Mate:Use this to start a new mating where you design both parent flies. DATA/RESULTS DATA/RESULTS Analyze Results: This button appears on the left side of the screen after each mate. Click it to get the following screens: Summary of Results: This lists the Parents followed by a table of offspring: the phenotype, number, proportion, and ratio. This Summary can be added to the Lab Notebook by clicking Add Data to Notebook. The Results initially appear broken down by sex and phenotype. At the top of the screen, you can choose Ignore Sex to remove this sex as part of the categorization, and Use Sex to add it back in. Chi-Square Analysis: Allows you to enter a hypothesis to explain the data and perform a chi-square statistical analysis of your hypothesis. The chi-square analysis computes hypothetical numbers (expected) based on your ratios and tests to see if these values differ significantly from the observed numbers. Enter your hypothetical values for the relative frequencies of the phenotypes into the text fields in the hypothesis column. Your values can be entered as integer numbers representing ratios (e.g. 4 and 1), integer numbers representing percentages (e.g. 80 and 20), or decimal numbers representing proportions or probabilities (e.g. 0.80 and 0.20). Once you have entered a value into each field, click Test Hypothesis at the bottom of the screen. You will see a box providing the results of a chi-square statistical test of your hypothesis: a table of phenotypes, observed numbers, expected numbers based on your hypothesis, and the chi-square terms. The sum of this last column is your chisquare test statistic. The Level of Significance represents the probability that deviations of the observed data from your hypothesis are due to random chance. At the top of the screen, you can choose Ignore Sex to remove this sex as part of the categorization, and Use Sex to add it back in. Exporting: Data can be exported (copied) from the Lab Notes to a standard HTML page. From here you can use the web browser menu to print your results or save them to disk. Add Data to Notebook: Click to copy data on a results page to the Notebook. Return to Lab: Once you are done viewing or exporting results data, choose this to go back to the lab screen. HOW TO MAKE A REPORT: CONTENT: - Write on the title-page the title, your name, the class and the date. - In the TABLE OF CONTENTS, which is in the report immediately after the title-page, are only the headings of the chapters, the first page number of the different chapters and if needed the first page number of the appendixes. - Think about the following headings: INTRODUCTION, MATERIAL & METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, SUMMARY en LIST OF LITERATURE. - Write a smooth text with every heading, write connecting text also!! - In a report try to avoid the verb ‘have to’. You should write like you invented it all by yourself. - In the INTRODUCTION you should write the intention of your experiment (the Observations and the Problems) and the Hypothesis(es) which you want to test. This also has to be one smooth text. - MATERIAL and METHODS should be separated. - The chapter METHODS you should write in the past tense and using the third person. - If it is needed you have to make a picture of the situation or a drawing of the construction. - You should separate the METHODS and the RESULTS. - Are the RESULTS clearly arranged? - Are the RESULTS arranged according your hypothesises in the INTRODUCTION? - Did you make a note of all data? - In the RESULTS you should only mention your results en you should not discuss them yet. That should be in the DISCUSSION. - In the DISCUSSION you have to talk about the following items: a. what was/were your Hypothesis(es) again? b. do you see any link between your hypothesis(es) and your RESULTS? c. does this agree with one another? d. is/are your hypothesis(es) right or wrong? - You always have to refer to the number of your graph/table/figure in your text. - Take care that you do not make your Hypothesis(es) right by reasoning, while they are wrong. - In the DISCUSSION you should refer to the RESULTS and always refer to the number of your figures/tables and/or graphs. - There should never be something new in the SUMMARY. Only the Problem(s) and the (most important) Conclusion(s). You also should not refer in a SUMMARY. LITERATURE. - You note literature as follows: - first you write the family name of the first writer and after this his/her initial(s) of the first writer, then the second writer. No titles of the writers; - the family names of the first writers, of the different books or articles, should be in alphabetical order; - are there more then two writers, than you write just the name and initial(s) of the first writer and after this you write et al.; - after that the year of publication; - then the title of the book or article; - when it is a book: - the publisher and - place of publication; - when it is an article: - the name of the journal, - the volume and - the pages. If you use a Internet site to collect your information, then you also have to write this in the literature list. Do this as follows: - write the address and - write when you visited the site. - Example: Jahns, H.M, 1981. Elseviers gids van varens, mossen en korstmossen. Elsevier, Amsterdam Ketel, D.H. and Lotz, L.A.P., 1998. Influence on allocation and detoxification of metribuzin in Chenopodium album on the reliability of prediction of the minimum lethal herbicide dose rate. Weed research, 38, 267-274. - In your text you refer the cited literature as follows: bla bla bla (Jahns, 1981) bla bla bla. - For the internet: www.biologienet.nl, visited 10 October 2004 - In your text you refer the Internet site as follows: bla bla bla (www.biologienet.nl) bla bla bla. LAY-OUT. - Write in correct English and again write a smooth text with every heading. Do not use the style of a telegram. - You have to hand in a report, which is made at the computer. You also should be able to make graphs and tables with the computer. - You have to number the pages. - In the graphs and such you are allowed to use different colours, but if you print it ni blackand-white you (also) have to use different textures (e.g. /// or \\\ or ### or ***). - Take care of the marginal line (margins). On all sides it has to be + 2.5 cm (1 inch) free space. - You should print the pages only on one side . REPRODUCTION OF TABLES AND GRAPHS. - With every figure, graphs and/or table goes: a. a number, b. a subscription, c. and if needed a key ( a so-called legend) - You always have to name the X- and Y-axes with the right units and a right graduated scale. - On the X-axes you put the independent variable and on the Y-axes you put the dependent variable. - You have to adapt the X- and Y-axes-scale to your data. That means that you have to use at least half of each axes. - With comparable graphs you use on the X-axes and/or Y-axes the same scale. - You should never use two pages for one graph/figure or table.

Dit klopt niet. Het mannetje is dd. 2. Dit is niet zo'n zinvolle kruising. 3. De Probleemstelling ontbreekt. Name: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4. Vormen zul je bedoelen. soorten kunnen niet met elkaar paren! 5. Dit hoort in de MATERIAAL & METHODE thuis. 6. Dit hoort in de RESULTATEN thuis. 7. Nu moet je gaan vertellen wat je precies gedaan hebt. 8. Ik mis bijlage 1 hier? Waarom is die anders wel opgenomen in je bijlage? Dat moet je hier uitleggen. 9. Dit staat niet in bijlage 3 maar in bijlage 1! 10. Bijlage 3 bedoel je. 11. Hoe kom je nu aan deze dieren? Dat moet je hier uitleggen. 12. Sorry maar hier klopt niets van. Het gaat in bijlage 5 niet over vestigal. 13. Dit klopt niet => bijlage 5. 14. Dit klopt niet => bijlage 6. 15. You have to refer to the number of your figure, table or graph. 16. Every figure, table, graph has: a. a number b. a subscription and if needed c. a legend 17. bijlage 7 & 8. 18. Leg uit dat snap ik niet. 19. The Methods are not allowed in the SUMMARY. In the SUMMARY you only write the Problem(s) and the most important Conclusion(s) and nothing more! 20. In a report you have to write it as if you invented it by yourself and you never should mention that it is an assignment. Besides you should avoid to use the verb ‘have to’ as much as possible. So do not write 16 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. we had to do this and we had to that because the teacher told us to do. This also counts for a sentence like: ‘We got the assignment…’. In je DISCUSSIE moet je het volgende bespreken: a. wat was/waren ook al weer je Hypothese(s) b. wat zie je in verband met die hypothese(s) in je RESULTATEN? c. komt dit met elkaar overeen? d. je hypothese(s) klopt/kloppen dus wel of niet Really? Why? Explain? Dit klopt niet. Het is 2:1. en dichaete. Dit kan niet. Als A (stubble) niet gekoppeld is met B (lobe) en C (dichaete) wel gekoppeld is met A, dan kan B nooit met C gekoppeld zijn. Je moet dit anders noteren. Eerst de achternaam van de 1e schrijver, dan zijn voorletters (in dit geval dus Maier E.) en dan "et al." omdat er meerdere auteurs zijn. Dan de titel dus Nectar VWO biologie 1, dan de uitgeverij, de plaats van uitgifte en het jaar van uitgifte dus Wolters-Noordhoff, Groningen, 1998. In de INHOUDSOPGAVE moet je niet de INHOUDSOPGAVE vermelden. Ho, ho, you have to explain how you find your Conclusion. With a calculation you show that it is right what you are saying. It seemed to me that this is more a SUMMARY then a discussion of your Results. The SUMMARY is missing. 30. Deze strepen duiden op een lege inktcartridge of verstopte spuitopeningen van de printerkop. 31. The real Observation is missing. 32. The connecting words are missing. 33. The Internet address is missing. 34. This is not right => fig. 3! (in fig. 4 the mother is wild and that is dominant). 35. Ho, ho here is a lethal factor for dichaete and then the results are different than for two not-lethal factors. 36. You can not use this one to determine if there is a linkage, because the results of a cross are the same if it is linked or not. 37. You do not have to examine if dichaete and dumpy are linked, because you have found that purple and dumpy are linked (see fig. 9, is right) and that purple and dichaete are linked (fig. 11, this is wrong, but you do not know (see ad 36)), so if purple is linked to dumpy and purple is linked also to dichaete, then dichaete will also be linked with dumpy. The only question is if there us crossing-over. 38. Also here you choose the wrong continuation, otherwise you would have seen that they were not linked (see ad 36). 39. Dit snap ik niet. 40. Why did you not try this? 41. Ik zou een ander onderschrift gekozen hebben. 42. Dit moet dus eerder! 43. Een eigenschap kan niet doodgaan. Het organisme (het fruitvliegembryo) gaat door voordat het geboren wordt. 44. Je hebt net steeds beweerd dat die (BB) niet bestaat. Je moet dus zeggen: Curly (B) is een letale factor dat betekent dat homozygoot dominant (BB) niet voorkomt. 45. Dit mag niet in een verslag. 46. Keurig maar wat heb je nu gedaan? 47. De streep staat verkeerd. 48. Dit moet uitgebreider. Waarom heb je nu deze kruisingen uitgevoerd? 49. Je moet wel een 'lopend verhaal' schrijven. 50. Wild kan toch ook heterozygoot zijn? 51. Dichaete/Curly is een letale factor waarbij homozygoot dominant dood gaat. 52. En hoe zit het dan bij dichaete? 53. Dit hoeft niet. Het kan ook homozygoot dominant zijn: MM * MM => ook alleen MM. 54. Dit kun je zo niet zeggen. 55. This heading should be MATERIAL & METHODS. 56. Dit vind ik niet erg duidelijk. 57. De Methode moet in de verleden tijd. 58. This is not right. 59. Dit klopt wel, maar niet op grond van jouw veronderstelling dat forked dominant is. 60. Nee, want in fig. 1 is het mannetje niet dominant maar recessief en het vrouwtje is niet recessief maar dominant! 61. Zie fig. 2 62. Dit hoort in de SAMENVATTING thuis. 63. This should be in the chapter discussion. 64. Which properties did you explore? 65. And what about ‘crossing over’? 66. The Material is missing. 67. This has to be more detailed. 17 68. Fig. 3 is the same cross as figure 1, not really significant. 69. This is not right => 1:3! 70. I think that some data is missing. Is there another possibility why 2 wild flies are producing different offspring. It seemed to me a mutation occurred, but this is not possible in the program Flylab. 71. Indeed it seems not much. But practically it was a bit more then 10 minutes. I think you were not present at 18.10, but at 18.45. If you do this with your boss later (or maybe you are working already), I think he will not accept it easily. After all I was far too reasonable. 72. Ook de titelpagina hoort niet in de INHOUDSOPGAVE (zie ook ad. 27). 73. De titelpagina moet je niet nummeren. 74. Conclusie is geen apart hoofdje. Dit hoort in de DISCUSSIE thuis. 75. Dit heb je vast ergens vandaan. Dan moet je citeren en achterin een LITERATUURLIJST opnemen. 76. Hoe doe je dat? Hoe voorkom je dat mannetjes het ook krijgen? 77. Ik hoop dat je meer gedaan hebt dan dit. 78. Een eigenschap kan niet heterozygoot zijn, alleen dominant of recessief. 79. Onzin!! Volgens mij snappen jullie er niet veel van.
