Post 9: This Week In Science (Fruit Flies Part 2)

                          This week in science we made graphs based on fruit flies. The graphs were based on how many adult flies there will be in 3 weeks. We also set up experiments, dividing the different parts. Ex. Hypothesis, Background Research, Procedure, Scientific Question, etc. Then we also answered questions based on which fly fruit group we picked, MMF, MFF, MMM, and FFF. We gave our opinions on how many eggs and adults we thought there will be after a certain amount of days.
                         I learned that if you put two female fruit flies and one male fruit fly in a vial, the amount of eggs will double to the amount of 40 each day. The only reason why this is a fact is because one female fruit fly lays 20 eggs a day. I also learned or remembered that when conducting an experiment, you should ALWAYS go back and double check your work for any mistakes. So that's a lesson well learned.
