Courtship Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

In every organism, genes for behaviors including innate ones require an environment or a physical body to be expressed. The major significance of an innate behavior is that differences of environments or physical bodies do not affect the behavior. In behavioral biology, innate behavior is a behavior that is developmentally fixed. Although there are environmental differences within and outside organisms' bodies during their development and throughout their life, they all exhibit the same behavior. Maximization …

…behaviors include wing vibration, waving, tapping, licking, circling and stamping. Female behaviors include extruding, decamping, depressing and ignoring. Some feminine male flies may exhibit female behaviors. The outcome of the experiment should show that male fruit flies do not demonstrate courtship behaviors when placed in a vial with only males since relations between males are suppressed by the action of neurons whose role could be to detect or to interpret the signals of anti-aphrodisiac hormones.
