Prococene

 In order to test if the precocene inhibitor worked, four separate test vials were filled about 2.5 inches with a food substance. One test tube was our control in which  10 mL of distilled water was mixed with roughly 2 grams of dry media. Each of the three other test vials were made with roughly 2 grams of media and 10 ml of a varying concentration of precocene. The concentrations of precocene increased from .01M to .1M and finally 1.0M. We then put four adult flies into each test tube, two of them were male and two were female. The flies were placed into an incubator, where they were allowed to mate and lay eggs over a week-long period. After one week, we removed the adult flies and observed the healthy larvae within the media. Next, after another week, the vials were observed again. This time, we counted the number of larvae, pupae, and adults present in each of the four vials and recorded the data shown below. The data collected was used to formulate a proper conclusion and aided us in answering the question at hand.
