Flies reproduction affected by alimentation and behaviour factors

1st Project Description:
The project consist in show if the alimentation affects in the reproduction and the behavior of a fly,for that is necessary to catch a male and a female fly first, then to have it in observation and give to the flies food that it unusually eat and also food that they usually eat. Finally is necessaryto compare the results of the experiment and what couple of flies reproduces faster. For look if the behavior changes is pertinent to observe carefully a patron of behavior during each reproductivephase, and also a patron before the flies eat and after that, that way will let see the behavior of the flies and also the reproduction of it.
2nd Problem Statement:
*-Does the alimentation affect thereproduction and the behaviour of a fly?
-What is the alimentation of a fly?
-What nutrients have the fly food?
-Are those nutrients related to the reproduction and the behavior of the fly?
-Howworks the reproductive system of the flies?
-Did the food affect hormones that could be important for the reproduction of a fly?
-How many times does the fly reproduce in its lives?
-Where doesthe fly lay its eggs most of times?
-How many males did the fly female need to reproduce?
-How many eggs do a fly lay per copulation?
3rd Formulating Hypotheses:
Is possible that the flies changehis reproduction cycle or the time they normally reproduce because although the food is not the only factor that may affect the flies reproduction is the most important factor, and without thenutrients the food gives to the flies it is so hard for it to reproduce in a normal way, and could be that the change the food do in the reproduction of the fly change also the behavior of the fly(Drosophila Melanogaster).
4th Demarcation of the terrain of the study:
The environment or habitat is important for the reproduction because the fly need to lay it eggs in a specific place that it chose. An...
