It explains how to culture the fruit flies and alerts the students to the different stages they might see. The activity suggests that the students compare the fruit fly life cycle to that of other organisms. Visitors can use the hyperlinks on the activity page to find additional information about fruit flies and their genetics. The site's resources are correlated with national standards.
