Transgenerational Effects of Smoke Pollution on the Physiology and Behavior of Drosophila

This study aims to understand the impacts of smoke pollution on the physiology and anatomy of Drosophila intergenerationally. We conducted smoke exposure experiments only on the Drosophila experimental parent groups and continued to house two additional generational groups for testing. Throughout this study we used physiological and anatomical measurements through weight, carbon dioxide emission, and movement assays. The significance of this study rests on its implications on human health.
