Our findings show that as concentrations increase that does not mean that growth will increase. (Table 3) Also, it does not seem to correlate to how many flies are in the adult stage. (Graph 1) The life stages of the offspring do not seem to be accelerated by the growth hormone. This can be easily seen in graph 2 and 3. Graph 3 shows that only the one with the most hormone had larvae which doesn’t make sense with our hypothesis. Also, Table two shows that more pupae were in the tubes at the higher concentration levels. Inn graph 5 it shows that pupae made up a large amount of each fly grouping. It does seem however that reproduction rate increases when our group added 10 uM. This can be seen in table 1, there are much more flies overall than any of the other concentrations. Overall, more males than females were produced. (Graph 4)
