I anxiously looked out the window at the familiar sites: cows grazing, tractors roaring, and palmetto bushes gently swaying in the summer breeze. Then, the classroom door squeaked. A statuesque woman walked in, Mrs. Able, our new teacher.

I start to gaze at the other students in my class and I realize it is strange to think I spend every Monday and Wednesday with…

multiple mutated larvae, they used behavioral analysis to determine the responsiveness of each larva. As a control, they tested normal, wild-type flies to determine the four responses that could be consistently reproduced. They interpreted their observations from the behavioral analysis by using a scoring system in which each successful response scored a 1 and there were four trials, resulting in a maximum touch-response score of 16. Within the behavioral analysis, the dependent variable was the…
