This week, the fruit fly cultures were moved from the classroom environmental chamber to an incubator set at ____ degrees. This has resulted in an increase in the number of hatched flies per culture; especially with the white-eyed flies. The adults in separate cultures are still thriving, and laying eggs. Sexing information on the newly hatched flies will come in the next post.
Slime molds are still an issue within the cultures, but changes in the levels of food have not done anything to reduce their presence. More research will be done to evaluate this issue.
Next week, virgin flies will be taken from each culture to be used in the genetic crossings of each phenotype.
