1. Fruit flies have more than 1500 eyes.
2. Scientiists are using these eyes to see new protiens.
3. Its high level leads to visible deformities in fly’s eyes.
4. They can see 10 times better than regular flies.
5. There is five types of protien in fragile X.

Fly’s have about 1,500 eyes that’s what why scientist are using them to research proteins necessary for memory. The loss of any 5 proteins the fruit flies eye will be deformed. If we understand translational control mechanisms in the brain it will teach us to design treatments for specific diseases.

1) the fruit fly has more than 1500 eyes.

2) understanding control in the brain helps us learn about how the brain adapts and learns.
3) Their eyes help us see protein that is important.

4)Fruit flies protein for memory.

5)More study may help the human brain’s ability and memory.

1.The fruit fly has over 1,500 eyes on them.
2.Fragile X Mental plays a role in the cellular processes.
3.The scientists tested the proteins which require for a specific microRNA to function in fruit flies.
4.This finding and the identification of the five new proteins that interact with the fragile X mental retardation protein.
5.It holds tremendous promise for millions or people with neurological diseases and disabilities.

A fruit fly has more than 1500 eyes
the loss of any 5 proteins the fruit flies eye will be deformed
their is this new protiens involved in memory
The scientist found that the “fragile X mental retardatiiom protein” plays a big role in learing & memory
. Its high level leads to visible deformities in a fly’s eyes

-Fruit flies have more than 1,500 eyes
-the loss of any 5 proteins the fruit flies eye will be deformed
-Their eyes help us see protein that is important
-knowing how our brains store info is like the “Holy Grail” of neurological research
-if we understand translational control mechanisms in the brain it will teach us to design treatments for specific diseases

1. A fruit fly has more than 1,500 eyes.
2. X mental retardation protien helps proccesses that contribute to memory and learning.
3. Previous work suggested that the fragile X protein regulates gene expression via an important group of small RNAs called micro RNAs.
4. Five new protiens contribute to fragile X protien.
5. Proteins using an artificial system of increasing fragile X mental retardation protein in the eyes of fruit flies.

1. Flies have more than 1,500 eyes and they do not miss seeing much.
2. Fragile X mental retardation protein plays a crucial part in cellular processes in learning and memory.
3. A high level of proteins leads to visible deformities in a fly’s eyes.
4. The loss of any one of the five proteins made the fruit fly’s eye become less deformed.
5. This area of research may help people with neurological diseases, disabilities, mental retardation and even learning disabilities.

1. Fruit flies have over 1.500 eyes.

2. Fruit flies see

3.Their doing this is sp sceintist can discover more about mental problems

4. They have 10x eye vision.

5. The scientists identified these proteins using an artificial system of increasing fragile X mental retardation protein in the eyes of fruit flies. Its high level leads to visible deformities in a fly’s eyes. new proteins necessary for memory

Fruit flys have more than 1,500 eyes. They also have five proteins in their eyes. Though none of the five proteins identified in the study had an effect on bantam. Fragile X protein regulates gene expression. Understanding translational control mechanisms in the brain teaches us how the brain learns and adapts.
