Philip Harris Drosophila Food Starter Kit
Philip Harris Drosophila Food Starter Kit
Product code: EP00050720
Product Description
The Drosophila Food Starter Kit by Philip Harris contains everything you need to feed and house Drosophila melanogaster fly cultures for breeding (flies are available to purchase separately).
Drosophila melanogaster are an excellent organism for visibly examining cross-breeding and genetics. Genetic traits such as eye colour, body colour and wing condition can be investigated by breeding normal type Drosophila melanogaster with other genetic hybrids (such as a culture possessing the vestigial wing trait).
Flies can be anaesthetised and separated out for examination and further cross-breeding.
Each kit contains:
- 10 x Drosophila Vials with foam stopper, containing Drosophila Food
- 10 x Ladders - for flies to climb
- 5g pack of Yeast
In order to activate the Drosophila food, add a couple of granules of yeast to each of the vials before the introduction of the flies.
N.B. Drosophila Fruit Flies are not included.
- Always ensure the Drosophila vials are stoppered with a foam plug in between examination sessions.
- Could be used as an extra-curricular activity with GCSE and A-Level Students alike
- Key Stage 4 - A-Level Biology: Genetics and Inheritance
- The cross-breeding of Drosophila fruit flies is an excellent way of demonstrating Genetics and Inheritance.
