Introducing to how to distinguish between male and female fruit flies, some sample mutant traits that we will study, then how to use CO2 and cold to anesthetize fruit flies
Hi there, I would like to do something like this with my Biology students and this was very helpful. I'm wondering how long you leave them in the culture tube to reproduce? How does that process work? Thanks!
Yeah so much fun if you don't mind the learning curve (some cultures might mold over, some flies will escape, etc.). Can email me (think email is in contact info for more specifics). I would say 2 - 3 weeks after putting males and females together (and eventally removing them) you'll have the next generation in adult form.
Great video. I’m trying to culture a flightless mutation into a wild caught drosophila species. I have several species now but this wild type that I have yet to identify has a huge larval stage. My F1 generation is in pupa form right now. This video will help me sort my cultures. Thanks!!
No, "mutant" is a more general term for any individual who has any change that makes him or her different from others in the population. Vestigial flies have a particular mutation that gives them small, nonfunctional wings. But there are lots of other mutations that are possible to observe in fruit flies.
THANK YOU!! BEST RESOURCE ON MANAGING FRUIT FLIES IN LAB WITHOUT FLYNAP!!
Fruit flies when anesthetized: I can't breathe.
*gas the flies*
The nodding in the presentation like we are gossiping about fruit flies and their familial lies!

nice massacre at the end
flies dead?
@@ezequielhijodetal5624 no they just vibin
They are going to heaven

is vestigial and mutant the same thing juss wondering
