  4. Knowledge Base • Pheromones- a chemical substance secreted by many animal species that alter behavior 5R6S-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide http://www.pherobase.com/pherobase/gif/5R6S-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide.GIF

  7. Literature Review • Barbosa, R. MR, Souto, A., Eiras, A.E, Regis, L. 2007. Laboratory and field evaluation of an oviposition trap for Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) 1 OAI 0 0.03 0.03 0.15 0.39 0.78 1.56 SOP (μg) -1

  8. Literature Review • .S. Ha, D.P Smith. 2006. A Pheromone Receptor Mediates 11-cis-Vaccenyl Acetate-Induced Responses in Drosophila

  9. Purpose • The purpose of this experiment is to measure the reaction of the Mutant lush drosophila and the regular drosophila when it comes in contact with 6-Acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide

  10. Hypothesis • Alternate Hypothesis- whenever the Mutant lush drosophila are in the presence of the pheromone they will not have a response, or they will not have a strong response to the pheromone. However, when the regular drosophila are in the presence of the pheromone, they will have a stronger reaction to it. • Null Hypothesis-when the mutant Drosophila are within the presence of the drosophila, there will be no significant decrease in their reaction, and when the regular drosophila are within the presence of the pheromone there will be no significant increase in reaction.

The Effects of 6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide on drosophila melanogaster Lush mutant drosophila Regular drosophila Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 Group 6 Group 7 Group 8 Group 1 Group 2 Test in oviposition trap BR-OVT with the measurements of 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 µl Run 80 trials, each for 10 minutes, record number of flies that are attracted to the food during each trial Compare means, then analyze using SPSS, with an ANOVA and a Scheffe-post-hoc test,
