Effects of treatment with zinc sulfate and copper acetate on a back-mutated Drosophila melanogaster population

Our study is focused on monitorising and comparing the prolificity of Drosophila melanogaster (grown on culture medium enriched with three different concentrations of zinc sulfate and respectively copper acetate) for three succesive genarations and those sex ratio The occurance of new mutations, the...

Description
Summary:Our study is focused on monitorising and comparing the prolificity of Drosophila melanogaster (grown on culture medium enriched with three different concentrations of zinc sulfate and respectively copper acetate) for three succesive genarations and those sex ratio The occurance of new mutations, the differences between wild type and mutants mutability, but also the differences of effects depending on concentrations of tested solutions was monitorised
