Introduction The ability to gather nutrients is one of the most important factors in the survival of any living organism. The theory of natural selection, proposed originally by Charles Darwin and Albert Wallace, methods of obtaining sufficient nutrients will have been refined and enhanced heavily over time. This is due to the high importance of this trait for survival and reproduction. Fruit flies (Drosophila Melanogaster) represent a model organism for observing and analyzing behaviours related to gathering nutrients due the isolation and simplicity of the gene that causes them.
D. Melanogaster exhibit distinct foraging behaviours determined primarily by the type of their for gene (LM 8). The for gene has only two variations. These variations
