Below are two separate writing assignments that are to be done separately. Please use APA format. Thank you:1.) Genetics and Reproduction:Create at least a 350-word blog post in Microsoft® Word in response to the following question:Female copperhead snakes have the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually. In your opinion, which method is best for the species in general and why? Develop your opinion and include the following in your post: Discuss asexual and sexual reproduction in terms of genetic diversity. How is meiosis related to genetic diversity? Use one of Gregor Mendel's ideas to support your opinion. Cite your sources according to APA guidelines2.) Genetics and Inheritance:Review information on genetic disorders on the National Human Genome Research Institute Site: http://www.genome.gov/.Choose a genetic disorder that can be inherited from a parent. Write a 525- to 700-word paper on the genetic disorder. Include the following in your paper:Summarize the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance and how chromosomal abnormalities can lead to genetic disorders. Describe the relationship between chromosomes and DNA. Identify an example of a genetic disorder and describe the genetic disorder including symptoms, impact on quality of life, and life expectancy. How common is this disorder? Does it run in specific ethnic bloodlines? Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

The phenol/sugar fermentation test looked for the production of acid and/or gas. Give the expected results for the following bacteria and a brief reason why. A facultative anaerobe that can respire and can ferment glucose to alcohol and CO2 with a final pH around 7.

Laboratory 1 – Mendelian Genetics – Introduction to Drosophila and Geneticbasis of the Principle of Segregation in F2 progeny of a monohybrid cross.In this lab we will become familiar with the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster that isused for conducting various genetic crosses in the laboratory. We will examine some of themorphological features of Drosophila that show variation and set up a monohybrid cross to showMendel’s principal of segregation. We will also set up a cross involving a sex-linked trait.Because the Drosophila experiment will take 10 days per generation.Introduction to DrosophilaWe will practice handling and examining Drosophila fruit flies. We will follow theprocedures from Mertens and Hammersmith – Investigation 1, with some importantmodifications. We will use the Carolina Formula 4-24 Instant Drosophila Medium. We willanesthetize flies by cooling 2 (to 2.5) minutes in freezer (no longer or else they die or becomesterile) in a vial without food and keep them cool on ice packs rather than using a chemicalanesthetic such as ether. Flies are cultured at 20-25°C in the incubators provided (these are presetat the required temperature and require no adjustment).Techniques for handling DrosophilaAnesthetization of flies:Flies must be anesthetized in order to keep them inactive during examination or whilethey are being transferred into culture vials for mating. You have been provided with plasticdishes with ice, plastic containers for ice water baths, plastic petri dishes and white filter paper.Use the following procedure to anesthetize the flies:1. Obtain a plastic dish with ice and place a petri dish with one piece of filter paper in it on theice surface.2. Shake the flies down into the bottom of the culture vial by tapping the vial, then remove theplug and quickly transfer the flies into an empty vial.3. Insert the vial with the transferred flies into the freezer.4. When the flies in the vial have stopped moving about 2 minutes (check them every 15 secafter 2 minutes), and then pour a few of them out onto the filter paper in the petri dish.2Do not leave flies in a freezer for more than a 2.5 minutes because they may die or becomesterile!!!5. Flies will normally remain anesthetized if kept on an ice bath or block.Culture vial preparation:1. Obtain clean culture vial and foam plug.2. Add 1 small scoop of dry food to vial.3. Add 1 small scoop of tap water to vial.4. Add two or three (2 or 3) grains of dry yeast to the vial.5. Dry off any water on inside exposed walls of vial with a Kim-wipe.6. Place foam plug in the vial to keep wandering Drosophila out.Setting up cultures:1. Anesthetize flies.2. Transfer flies to an empty vial with brush.3. After the flies wake up they can then be added to the food vials.4. Label vial with date and types of male and female flies used.5. Subculture the mutant and wild stocks every one to two weeks; never keep the vials withcultures longer than 3 weeks.Setting up reciprocal crosses:1. Clear adults from vials once pupal cases form. (Subculture if needed)2. Collect virgin females within six to seven hours of clearing vials.3. Place virgin females in vial with food. (Up to 8 per vial, based on availability)4. Add males of other stock; try to wait before adding males so the females will be strong; useslightly less males than females.5. Label vials properly. Two vials for each reciprocal cross are recommended.6. Clear adults when pupal cases appear. (Set up in another vial if desired.)7. Wait for F1 to emerge and score.8. Collect data on the first 100 Fl's flies to emerge from each reciprocal cross.9. Tabulate information on the Fl generation flies with regard to sex and phenotype for eachreciprocal cross.10. If conducting testcrosses, then F1 virgin females need to be collected.11. When setting up the F1 flies for the F2 generation set up a new labelled vial then add an equalnumber of F1 males and females. The female flies do not need to be virgins, because it does notmatter if mating occurred before or after the flies are put into the new vials as this is a sibmating.12. Once again, clear the adults when the pupal cases appear.13. Collect data on the first 100 F2 generation flies to emerge from each reciprocal cross.(14) Tabulate information on the F2 generation flies with regard to sex and phenotype for eachreciprocal cross.Keep records of your crosses in Table 1.2 on (page 9-new book) (page 8 old book), or you canset up the information for in a MS Word file. Keep your records on the methods and data foryour crosses for the F1 and F2 generation to write up later on.Fly Lab report is worth a 100 points. It should be made into a word document which you will need to upload to a Turn-it in link on Canvas. The link only takes one document, so make sure everything you need to include in the report is one single document.We are using ether not freeze！！！We are using ether not freeze！！！We are using ether not freeze！！！one chart one page，at least 10 pagesAPA Style will be used in the Fly Lab Report. Both running head and in-text citations are needed. The font should be uniform. Choose either Times New Roman or Calibri as the font of your document. The font size can be 12 or 13. The title can be bolded on the same font sizes. Paragraph spacing should be double.Margins on all sides are necessary. The alignment should be justified. Page numbers should be present on the main section of the report.
