provide an example of a question to explore as an independent project given a foraging and behavioral genetic system?for example, wingless rover males cannot use wing vibrations to attract female fruit flies . is the difference between Rover and sitter male matting success less obvious when flies are the wingless variety, as opposed to wild-type variety?

Solution

Yes, foraging behaviour have genetic basis.

The distance traveled while foraging is significantly longer in rover than sitter. It has genetic basis and according to Mandelian analysis the rover sitter fits a single gene model of inheritance and rover completely dominant over sitter. This path length is autosomally inherited and not y-chromosome, permanent cytoplasmic factors transient maternal factors or interaction between hereditory components.

The rover is more activated than sitter because of mutation of a gene encoding a soluble guanylyl cyclase subunit of a c-GMP-dependent protein kinase. This kinase increased the activity of that protein and foraging locomotion in rover and sitter.

Winged variety of male fly is more successful because they attact female more.Female use their sense of hearing to preferentially mate with experienced male when give a choice. That\'s why mated male learns from their positive sexual experience and adjust their behavior to gain mating advantage.

This learned response was linked to an enhanced sensitivity to lipid 11-cis-vaccenyl acetate (cAV) ejaculated by male and transferred to mated female.
