Apterous Fly Hypothesis
Question:
If I cross a female apterous fly with a male wild fly, what would the offspring look like?
Hypothesis:
If I cross a female apterous fly with a male wild fly, then the offspring will be a 50% chance of a apterous fly or 50% chance of a wild fly. If I cross a female apterous fly with a male wild fly, then the offspring will be a 100% wild fly.
Supporting Evidence for Hypothesis:
Apterous flies have no wings, and are a recessive gene, while wild flies have wings and are a dominant gene, (TT,Tt). A punnett square can be used to cross a recessive (apterous fly, tt) and a dominant gene (wild fly, TT, Tt).

To make the vile you need a vile, foam, netting,15 grams of media, 6 grains of yeast, distilled water, cotton swab, and alcohol. First, add 15 grams of media into the bottom of the vile, try to not get the powder on the sides of the vile. Second, add 6 grains of yeast to the media without touching the sides of the vile. Third, pour 10 grams of distilled water into the vile and tap the vile to get the water to the bottom. After the media is goupy, not soupy or hard, add the netting. To get the netting in the vile, you may need to fold the netting, and then add the foam and label your vile with period, group number, and apt. Virgin female. After you make your virgin vile, you need to make your make vile. Repeat the steps above to make another vile, but label vile period, group number, and wild male. Release flies into their perspective viles. Once larva starts forming, you can release the adults from both viles. Watch your vile daily to look for a female virgin from the apterous vile and a wild male. A virgin is important because she can not be inseminated with another apterous fly. A fly only stays a virgin for 6-10 hours, so you have to act fast. To identify a male from a female fly, look at the fly and males have more thicker blacker stripes on dorsal side with a blacker ventral side, while females have less strips on their dorsal sides and little to no black on their ventral side. Before you release them into their cross vile, you have to put them to sleep by fly nap. To fly nap you have a sponge at the bottom of the machine, which should lightly be dabbed with the fly nap. Next open the top to let the flies in. To let the flies in remove the foam and quickly place on top of the fly nap. Once the flies are in the machine, tap lightly to quicken the process of putting them to sleep. Once all of the flies are asleep, sex
