1. Describe the Drosophila morphology.

2. Drosophila is a genus of flies in the Drosophilidae family, whose

individuals are sometimes referred to as "little fruit flies," "pomace flies,"
"vinegar flies," or "wine flies" due to their proclivity for lingering around
overripe or rotting fruit. It has a spherical head with three tiny simple eyes
and short antennae, as well as huge red compound eyes. Its mouth has
evolved to absorb liquids. The majority of Drosophila species Although
most are small, about 2–4 mm in length, some are larger than a house fly.
They have transverse black rings across the abdomen and brick red eyes and
are normally pale yellow to reddish brown or black.
3. Difference between the male and female drosophila.
Male Drosophila are often smaller and have a darker abdomen than female
Drosophila. The female Drosophila's rear segments are just partially
pigmented, but the males' posterior segments are virtually entirely
pigmented. Examining the genitalia of the flies is the most straightforward
way to distinguish the two. At the tip of their abdomen, males have dark,
spherical genitalia, and females have bright, pointy genitalia.

2. pH levels of 6.5 to 8 are essential for optimal development circumstances.

L. minor may thrive in temperatures ranging from 6 to 33 degrees Celsius.
Colonies grow quickly, and when conditions are right, the plants produce a
carpet that covers still ponds. We were able to determine that nutrition
availability does affect the growth rate and carrying capacity of Lemna
minor after completing an experiment (using the video) with four different
nutrient levels.
5. Duckweed growth is limited by the amount of fronds available to grow,
as long as nutrient and light conditions are met. A lack of appropriate light
or a shortage of one or more nutrients is the limiting growth factor during a
linear growth phase. Duckweed's growth rate and chemical composition are
highly influenced by the concentration of minerals in water, as well as their
rate of replenishment, balance, water pH, water temperature, solar
incidence, and maybe day length.
CONCLUSION:
In a variety of ways, population growth is controlled. These
are divided into density-dependent and density-independent
factors, with density-dependent factors affecting growth rate and
mortality regardless of population density and density-independent
factors causing mortality regardless of population density. Wildlife
biologists, in particular, are interested in learning about both types
since it will aid them in managing populations and preventing
extinction or overpopulation. When accessible resources
outnumber the number of people who can use them, population
expansion happens. The rate of reproduction is high, and the death
rate is low, resulting in a net increase in population size.
