Ratings & Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Introduce students to culturing Drosophila The apterous fly culture arrived quickly and in good shape. With the weather being uncharacteristically cold, they were shipped with a hand warmer to ensure their viability upon arrival. This is a great strain to introduce student to fly culture because, having no wings, the flies won't escape from them as easily as their winged brethren. The apterous trait is autosomal recessive, so it's perfect for demonstrating Mendelian principals.
