Draft Results Fruit Fly

The data below demonstrates the difference between growth and maturation of flies treated with different levels of precocene, and flies not treated with precocene. Table 1 displays the raw counts collected from the vials, where each organism was counted and grouped by developmental stage. Table 2 shows the measured fly lengths of 5 males and 5 females from each treatment group. Figure 1 displays the average fly lengths for males and females for each treatment group graphically. It is apparent that both males and females had the same average length within each treatment group, except for 1 μM precocene. Additionally, it is shown that 0.1 μM precocene treated flies have the longest average length, with an average length of 0.45 millimeters for both male and female. Male flies treated with 1 μM Precocene appear to have the shortest average fly length, with an average length of 0.32 millimeters.
