Based on the findings of Module 1 students will write a 1 -page review paper summarizing the available
information about the Ionotropic receptor 68a gene and inferring its function or functions.
What do we know about the function of homologs of the ir68a gene of interest based on previously published
work? What was done?
Give a general description of the biological system the ir68a gene is associated with (associated with fruit fly);
for example: olfaction, vision, hearing, memory, mating, etc.
What kind of behavioral assay or phenotype measurements can be used to study this biological system?
Also, create an experimental design used for the ionotropic receptor 68a
Give a hypothesis on the function of your gene.
Experiment design:
- Include a sketch and summary of behavioral experiment
- List Dependent and Independent
- List Control variable
- List a Positive and /or negative controls
