Based on background research, flies containing a high level of chitin will adapt and survive the freezing process. High level of chitin will aid the fly in it¡¦s revival time and also a higher mass of chitin also known as the exoskeleton will help the fly to live a longer period of time. Flies with low exoskeleton mass should be slow in revival when compared to flies with greater chitin mass. In addition, flies with low chitin mass will live shorter lives than their high massed counter parts. Lastly, flies exhibiting a high overall body mass may prove to have higher levels of chitin. Although a fly specimen with a high exoskeleton mass to overall body mass percentage may prove to withstand the freezing as well as live longer than flies with a lower chitin to overall body mass percentage.
