Under laboratory conditions, fruit flies can learn to respond to odors that elicit no response from them in nature. Mutant fruit flies that cannot produce a certain enzyme are, however, incapable of such learning. These mutant flies respond to other odors just as ordinary fruit flies do. Thus it is unlikely that the enzyme's absence impairs the fruit flies' perception of odors, since presumably, fruit flies would not have an enzyme that was needed only for the perception of odors that fruit flies do not respond to innature . Instead, what the enzyme's absence probably impairs is the fruit flies' ability to learn, since many researchers believe that this enzyme is somehow involved in the process of formingmemories .
