a fruit fly has 4 pairs of chromosomes
They have simatic and sexual chromosomes.
5 homologous chromosomes are in a fruit fly somatic cells.
Four each.If an organism is diploid, its cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent. The fruit fly (Drosophila) is diploid.
Fruit flies are a powerful asset when studying inheritance because their chromosomes are visible with light microscopes, and they reproduce rather quickly! They can reproduce in a matter of a couple weeks, with around hundreds of offspring! Thus it is easier to see phenotypic patterns as well as genotypic inheritance in fruit flies.
Morgan used fruit flies to study how genes were passed down from parent to child. He concluded from his research that they were passed through chromosomes, and used his data to create the first genetic map.
8 chromosomes
Fruit flies have 8 chromosomes. 6 are autosomal, and 2 are sexual.
74
They have simatic and sexual chromosomes.
Corn. Corn has 10 and fruit flies have 4.
A person has 46 chromosomes a dog has 78 cats have 38 fruit flies have 8
it is Calvin BRIDGES who worked on Drosophila chromosomes for their sex determination.
Fruit flies have 3 pairs of autosomes, a total of 6 autosomes. They also have 1 pair of sex chromosomes.
Fruit flies are prolific breeders, have 4 pairs of chromosomes, and have easily distinguishable chromosomes.
some people dont know how many chromosomes are in corn plants. corn plants have 20 chromosomes humans have 46 and fruit flies have 4 pairs double the four pairs and then ur fruit flie has the total of 8 chromosomes
He gave an understanding of how chromosomes effect heredity.
