FORENSICS: A fully clothed male was found, facedown, in the basement of a house at 8am on July 17. There was a maggot mass in his back, and infestations were apparent in his mouth and nose. The temperature in the basement was 70ºF. The house was closed up, yet there were a lot of houseflies buzzing here and there. The forensic entomologist collected about 40 of the largest maggots, from 10-12mm long. She did not see any puparia; however there were two beetles under the body. The temperature in the basement was monitored for the next five days and found to be very stable at 70ºF. Back at the lab, half the maggots were placed in an incubator at 75ºF at 9am. Flies started emerging from their pupae about 7.5 days (180 hours, to be exact) after incubation of the larvae. The forensic entomologist identified the fly and let it run through its life cycle. She found it took 36 hours to grow larvae 12mm long. What did she estimate the post mortem interval to be? Explain all your reasoning as if you were presenting evidence in court.

Error analysis: what might be the reason that some of your percentages didn't exactly match your predicted results? gametes aren't responsible for inheritance. mice don't have large litters, so the sample size was not large enough. the wrong type of mice were used.
