Hydrocarbons affect on drosophila
I'm doing an ISI science research project on how Hydrocarbons from petroleum would affect drosophila melangaster. I am going to conduct an environment with hydrocarbons in it for the fruit flies to see how they react. If you have any information on this topic or something similiar to this project I would like to hear from you.
