Figures 2-5 depict the amount of organisms in each vial by percent, separated by developmental stage. It is apparent that the control group yielded the highest percentage of pupae, at about 55%. Groups treated with precocene experienced a much lower percent yield of pupae, with 0.1 μM precocene yielding the lowest at 13.7%. The control yielded the lowest percentage of adults, at 30.6%, while 1 μM precocene yielded the highest percentage of adults at 55%. Most of the larval d. melanogaster were found in the 0.1 μM precocene group, with 45% of that group containing larvae. The control contained the least amount of larvae percentage, with only 14.3% making up that group.
