If JH suppresses critical weight transition while delaying metamorphosis, then the larvae growth period is longer, resulting in a larger size. The article describes that juvenile hormone controls the body size and delays the metamorphosis of the larva, causing it to be in the larva stage for longer. The control will be a vial with flies and no JH. The treatments will be the flies and the various JH concentrations: 0.1 μM, 1.0 μM, and 10 μM. Our hypothesis would be supported if the flies in the higher concentrations of JH are larger than the flies in the control group and groups of lower concentration. Our hypothesis would not be supported if the flies in the vial with higher concentrations of JH were the same size or smaller than those of the control group or lower concentrations.
