Week 4 Behavioral Genetics. Rover/Sitter (larvae)Link to Fly Lab HandoutGENERAL EXPECTATIONSStudents will work in pairs to quantify crawling distance for Drosophila larvae on normal food substrate. Student pairs will develop their own experiment in order to determine if there is an affect of Rover/Sitter alleles in the novel paradigm. Ideas from last year included: testing larvae in the dark, testing larvae in bright light, testing larvae when caffeine was added to the normal yeast paste. required reading: suggested reading: TO BE EVALUATEDAll raw data for the primary experiment MUST be entered to the class spread sheet. Students will make a brief presentation to the class regarding the independent experiment if there is time. Every student is expected to keep their own lab notebook and not rely
on the notebook of a labmate, however when data is recorded it need not
be copied, a clear statement of where the data is recorded is sufficient. |
