What does a geneticist observe?
A geneticist is a biologist who studies the science of genes, heredity and variation of organisms
How many genes do fruit flies have on their chromosomes?
74
What are the sexes and eye colors of flies with the following genotype?
White eyes are recessive sex-linked genes in fruit flies. White eyed males fruit flies have XWY, where W is for white eyes.
What type of scientist was Mary styles harris?
She was a biologist and a geneticist (scientist working with genes) scientist.
A scientisit who studies heredity?
A scientist who studies heredity is called a geneticist.
How is the way hox genes are expressed in mice different to the way they are expressed in fruit flies?
Hox genes in mice and fruit flies are expressed similarly in that the genes themselves are similar enough to trade places and still function. The genes are expressed different because although you can switch the genes around, the outcome will result in the improper physical characteristic.
What does an geneticist study?
Genes
What a geneticist does?
A geneticist is a biologist who studies the science of genes, heredity and variation of organisms
What does a geneticist observe?
A geneticist is a biologist who studies the science of genes, heredity and variation of organisms
What do geneticists study?
geneticist's study genes or DNA
What is the specialist in genetics called?
A specialist in genetics is referred to as a geneticist. This type of biologist is a physical scientist who studies the science of genes, living organism variation, and heredity.

She was a biologist and a geneticist (scientist working with genes) scientist.
Who worked together to demonstrate how genes work with fruit flys?
Thomas Hunt Morgan was an American evolutionary biologist, geneticist and embryologist and science author who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1933 for discoveries elucidating the role that the chromosome plays in heredity by using strains of fruit flies.
Why can't patterns of inheritance in humans be as easily studied as in peas and frruit flies.?
Firstly, peas and fruit flies come to maturity much faster than humans so you can fit in lots of generations in a practicable time. Secondly, fruit flies have a much simpler genotype than we do. Finally there are far fewer ethical restrictions when you experiment on flies or peas.
A behavioral geneticist would design research studies to determine?
the degree to which genes and environment interact to shape behavior.
