I.  Course Description

This practical develops the knowledge and skill by : practice in artificial crossing (monohybrid cross) of the yard-long bean plant, explain the genetic variation in humans by observing the phenotype using the genetic disc, know the fruit fly (Drosophila sp.) as a model organism that can be used in artificial crosses in genetic experiments, know different types of the Drosophila mutants and able to carry out monohybrid and dihybrid crosses using them, explain linkage and crossing over, autosome gene expression which expression is controlled by an individual’s sex, study the modification of the

phenotypic ratio due to gene interaction, know human characters that are caused by multiple alleles, specific gene in a family by using pedigree analysis, and understand the method and theory of the colorblind test.

II.  Standard Competencies of The Course

At the end of the course, students should be able to :

1.  Carry out artificial hybridization of the yard-long bean plant and study the genotype and phenotype in the parents and the F1 generation

2.  Explain the genetic diversity in humans by observing the phenotype and using the genetic disc

3.  Describe the fruit fly (Drosophila sp.) by : its breeding, difference in sex, and the life cycle

4.  Describe the specific characters of the mutant Drosophila

5.  Carry out artificial cross using the Drosophila

6.  Explain about linkage and crossing over

7.  Explain autosome gene expression with phenotype caused by an individual’s sex

8.  Explain  the  modification  of  the  phenotypic  ratio  that  is  caused  by  interactions between genes

9.  Explain the characters in humans caused by multiple alleles

10. Explain that there are specific genes causing specific traits in a family, using the pedigree analysis

11. Understand and able to perform the colorblind test
