Need Alcohol has the largest death rate out of all other drugs disorders caused by alcohol have increased over the past 6 years Knowledge Base Scale defined by Sullivan 2000 http://www.imsb.ethz.ch/researchgroup/hafene/researchprojects/Drosophila.jpg Drosophila relate to humans on a genetic level http://chidiet.com/images3/banana1.jpg Ethanol can be found in the fermentation of fruits Literature Review Rapid tolerance-defined as the attenuated response to ethanol that occurs from a single exposure and after elevated blood levels from the initial exposure Chronic tolerance-when they are exposed for long amount of time to small concentration of the drug. Hypothesis null hypothesis-the drosophila that are never exposed to ethanol will have the weaker tolerance alternative hypothesis-based on the findings of Ulrike Heberlein flies with chronic tolerance will have a stronger tolerance Purpose The purpose of the study is to show that tolerance has an affect on the metabolism of alcohol in drosophila melagastor.
