In AP Bio, lab 7, I would like to know what the control and variable is of the flies?

In AP Bio, lab 7, about drosophilia melanogasters, I"m wondering what would be the control and variable for the report?|||If this is a fly mating experiment, then there is no control. The purpose of these demonstrations is to show you the behavior of alleles within a gene.





You have the theory behind genetics, and the expected ratios from your crosses. You have the actual results from your crosses. The next step is to see how well the actual numbers fit the expected numbers, probably using statistical tests.





Thus this is more of a learning situation, and a reaffirmation of the behavior of genes in fruit flies.|||I know that when I did the drosophilia melangaster lab, that we were looking for eye color, sex determination and also for the generation after A1.





Hopefully this helps.
