Flies

The tsetse fly is a large biting insect native to Africa, and it is dangerous because it has been identified as a disease vector. The fly bites victims to drink blood, and can infect that victim. A bitten individual may get sleeping sickness. Nagana, a disease affecting cattle, can be passed on to these herd animals. A link can be found below.

The word "fly" comes from the Old English word "fleoge" which means "flying insect." This term has been used to describe insects that have the ability to fly, such as flies, for centuries.

No, a house fly would not be able to survive in space because there is no atmosphere to provide it with air to fly. Additionally, the lack of gravity in space would also make it difficult for the fly to maneuver and navigate.

Blow flies have a very keen sense of smell, so they are attracted to the scent of rotting flesh within the first 24h since death. For more information see these links:

The tsetse fly carries the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, which causes African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness in humans. This disease is often fatal if left untreated and affects the central nervous system.

Your eyes are designed to focus on objects outside the eye, making it difficult to see smaller objects like flies that are close to the eye. Additionally, blinking reflexes help protect the eye from foreign particles, making it challenging to perceive objects like flies that are in contact with the eye.

Flies are attracted to light because they use it as a navigation aid. They have a behavior known as positive phototaxis, where they are naturally drawn towards sources of light. This behavior might have evolved to help flies find their way towards the outdoors during the day.

Houseflies rub their hind legs together to clean themselves. They have specialized bristles on their legs that help with grooming and removing dirt and debris from their bodies. Additionally, this behavior helps to spread saliva on their legs, which aids in digestion when they come into contact with food sources.

Scorpion flies typically live for 1-2 years as adults, but their complete life cycle from egg to adult can take up to 3 years. Their lifespan can be influenced by factors such as environmental conditions and food availability.

Fruit flies were sent into space to study the effects of space travel on biological processes like reproduction, development, and aging. They are commonly used as model organisms in biological research due to their short lifespan and genetic similarities to humans. By studying fruit flies in space, scientists hope to gather insights that could benefit human health and space exploration.

Domesticus means house in Latin.

The fruit fly that was sent into space was named Drosophila melanogaster.

Male dobsonflies do not bite because their mandibles are too large for them to have control and therefore break human skin. Female's mandibles are longer though. They can then bite humans. (A very painful bite.)

Flies play a significant role in ecosystem processes such as pollination, decomposition, and serving as a food source for other animals. They are important for maintaining balance in nature despite their association with unsanitary environments like feces.

Yes, crane flies have feelings in the sense of being able to detect motion. For example, the insects in question (Tipulidae family) possess antennae that are sensitive to motions, movements and vibrations within certain ranges. Researchers often refrain from giving a definitive answer to whether crane flies have feelings in the sense of being able to experience pain and pleasure.

Fruit flies have been sent to space for studies and have survived in space conditions. However, some fruit flies may have died during experiments due to various factors such as stress, radiation exposure, or lack of appropriate food and water.

In this cross, all offspring will have straight wings since the homozygous fly can only pass on the dominant allele for straight wings (SS) while the heterozygous fly can pass on either straight (S) or curled wings (s). Therefore, all offspring will inherit one straight wing allele, resulting in them having straight wings.

A housefly's lifespan as an adult fly is typically around 15-25 days. However, this can vary depending on environmental conditions and availability of food and water.

A white-eyed male fruit fly would have the genotype "X^wY," where "X^w" represents the recessive white eye allele on the X chromosome and "Y" represents the Y chromosome.

Fruit flies were used in genetic research to study inheritance patterns and mutations. Their short life cycle and ability to produce many offspring quickly allowed researchers to study multiple generations in a short time span. This helped scientists identify genes responsible for specific traits and understand how they are passed down through generations.

Eye color in fruit flies is determined by the combination of genes they inherit, specifically genes located on the X chromosome. Mutations in these genes can lead to changes in eye color, with different alleles causing variations in pigmentation. The interaction of these genes ultimately determines the specific eye color of a fruit fly.

When Thomas Hunt Morgan mated fruit flies with specific genotypes, he observed deviations from the expected Mendelian ratios, indicating that certain traits were linked on the same chromosome. This led to the discovery of genetic linkage and the concept of gene mapping.
