What else can I help you with?
Do hawthorn maggot flies and apple maggot flies belong to the same species?
they belong to giants
Can you propose a biologically reasonable scenario that explains how apple maggot flies evolved?
Apple maggot flies originally were living only on hawthornes. When apples were introduced, some flies started reproducing on apples and so the apple maggot fly evolved.
What species concept should be used in the apple maggot fly case?
In the case of the apple maggot flies, it is an example of sympatric speciation. Two different populations occur in different niches where there is no gene flow between the two.
What are house fly larva called?
Baby flies are called maggot.
Which class is a maggot in?
A maggot is fly larva, and flies are insects.
How does the apple maggot evolve from an egg?
The apple maggot, scientifically known as Rhagoletis pomonella, begins its life as an egg laid by an adult female fly on an apple or other fruit. Once the egg hatches, the larva burrows into the fruit, feeding on the flesh as it grows. After several weeks, the larva pupates, typically within the fruit or in the soil, eventually emerging as an adult fly. This life cycle allows the apple maggot to adapt and thrive in its host environment, often leading to co-evolution with fruiting plants.
How many maggot to flies have?
One maggot will produce one fly! that fly will then produce hundreds of maggots, and so on....There will ALWAYS be flies!!
What is the name of the baby of the maggot?
grasshopper
What is a female maggot called?
A female maggot is typically referred to as a "maggot" without any gender-specific term. Maggots are the larval stage of flies, and they do not have distinct male or female characteristics until they develop into adult flies. Therefore, the term "female maggot" is not commonly used in entomology or biology.
If Apple maggot flies appear to be two separate races what makes these races different?
The two separate races of Apple maggot flies likely exhibit differences in genetic traits that control their physical appearance and behavior. These differences can include variations in body color, wing patterns, mating behaviors, or preference for specific host plants. The existence of distinct races may also be linked to geographic locations or different ecological niches they inhabit.
Do flies die when they have maggots?
Flies lay their eggs and when they hatch, it forms the maggot's, the fly larva , before they develop into flies.
When a maggot grows up what does it become?
A maggot grows up to become a fly. Maggots are the larval stage of flies, which eventually pupate and emerge as adults.
