Today I wanted to explore how to slow down the growth of he Drophilia flies. They grow and reproduce very rapidly, in even 24 hours you can see an entire reproductive cycle between male and female, of course unlike humans, where it takes a female 9 months to conceive. The Juvenile Hormone Inhibitor slows down the growth and development of the Drosophila flies, in both males and females. This indicates that the JH Inhibitor is correlated to the growth and development of Drosophila flies, although more testing would need to be done in order for this to be fully conclusive. I am also not a professional, nor a qualified scientistm but the Juvenile Hormone is necessary in the instar stages, so by adding an inhibitor, we delay this growth, which explains why the fly count decreases once the inhibitor increases, as well as the size of the fruit fly. More precisely, Juvenile Hormone supports the instar stages, which is the stage between the eggs and the pupa stage. Once the eggs hatch, there will be a decrease in the quantity of larvae that wil later on develop into pupae. This also effects their length. This shows how the Juvenile Hormone was able to delay and disrupt the developmental stages of fruit flies.
