Suppose you want to understand the basic function of your gene. What model organism(s) or other experimental approaches might you use to address your research goal

The model organism that I would use is the fruitfly, DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER.

Explanation:

In genetic studies, the scientists who study genetics are known as geneticists. The basic laws of genetics were laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1866. While in 1912, the American geneticist, Thomas Morgan, showed that GENES were carried on CHROMOSOMES.

They made use of MODEL ORGANISMS which are organisms that are suitable for studying a particular trait or disease because of the characteristics it possesses. Example include fly, fish rodent, pig.

Thomas Morgan made use of the fruitfly, DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER in his genetic studies to:

--> verify Mendel's findings, and

--> locate the position of GENES on CHROMOSOMES known as chromosome mapping.

The DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER is suitable for genetic studies because:

--> it is tiny: this made it possible to be kept in the laboratory in large numbers.

--> the males( rounded abdomen) and female( pointed abdomen) can be easily distinguished.

--> it has a short life cycle which it completes within two weeks and breeds in large numbers, enabling geneticists to follow the transmission of characters through several generations in a short period.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
