Conclusion
The food medium does affect the rate of reproduction of fruit flies. I was correct in my hypothesis of the problem. Nutrients found in the sweet potato may have made the fruit flies healthier than the flies in the potato setup allowing them to produce an abundant
offspring. Although the exact reason why the sweet potato flies produced more offspring than the potato flies in unknown, I have a number of hypotheses that can explain it. All I know as of this point is that the food medium does affect the rate of reproduction of fruit flies. Sweet potato increases the rate of production by 937% compared to ordinary potato. My conclusion therefore of the experiment is sweet potato acts a better food medium in the event of breeding fruit flies. Potatoes will still allow you to come up with a good number of flies but sweet potatoes will give you a better number.
