Time Love Memory Last Blog of the Semester
The main concepts with the book have to do with Evolution, Mating, as well as Genetics. Through out the book, Weiner uses past experiments to get through the main concepts. The main one used specifically has to do with Flies. First off, evolution has to the species adaption and the changes made to the species over time. It is facilitated by mating as well as genetics in which each individual has traits specific to it. They have different chromosomes such as Females with YY and Males with XY. It relates to genetics especially to the fly genetics lab in which different traits can be combined to create an offspring entirely different from it's parents. The three concepts all intertwine with one another, not just in flies but in everything in nature. Without the transfer of different chromosomes and genetic traits, off spring would not be different. They would not migrate into other places or would not be able to survive to changing environments with out being helped by small adaptations. Without these changes, evolution would not occur in the long run to adjust and survive entirely to changes not just within the species but to nature,environments, as well as ecosystems.
