Fluorescent Fruit Flies Shed New Light - Science Nation

The video explores the complex world of fruit fly reproduction, focusing on the challenges of tracking sperm from multiple males. Researchers at Syracuse University, with support from the National Science Foundation, have developed glow in the dark sperm to better understand these processes. This innovation reveals complex sperm behaviors and the role of female selection in reproduction. The findings could have implications for human fertility treatments.

What advantage does the second male have over the first male in mating with a female fruit fly?

In what way could this research on fruit flies impact human fertility treatments?
