Post 8: This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Part 1)

Fruit flies in a tube with their food at the bottoms and cotton stuff inside on the top.
  This week in science cohort 3 did a little chart in our notebooks with 3 flies:
1. male,male,male
2.female,female,female
3.male,male,female

4.female,female,male
    If the flies was in the same tube together we have to see what will happen if the flies will make babies or not.We also saw a trade of the "Drosophila Life Cycle"on the paper.
1st is the male & female on top, 2nd is the egg, 3rd is the small larva, 4th is the medium larva, 5th is the big larva,then last one of the life cycle is the pupa.
 
 I learned from fruit flies that when you wanna count bugs you have to use fly nap to put them to sleep and the flies are small so how you suppose to know if they female or male. I could tell if its a female flies and a male flies because on the internet it shows that the male is hairy and the female is not.
