Practicals

Population genetics-Biol 1020 last practical for the semester
My lab partner-Joanne..*Its fun having you as my partner..for always being the last in the group to leave:)*Counting the population of fruit flies..
First we need to pengsan-kan the flies with Co2Then we pour them out on the diffusing pad...
But our flies weren't completely knocked out and started flying..panic attack!! more Co2Put them under the microscope! and this is what you seeee..Counting them..wild type female or male? or vestigial female or male?After counting we dump the flies into the fly morgue...to kill them!


Counting them is a tidious procedure! :(
Finally tally the results! we had over 500 flies....
