Plato users, Fruit flies.


What conclusions did Morgan arrive at with his experiment on fruit flies?

What are fruit flies studied for?

Fruit flies are used in research (usually genetic and reproduction research) because they are genetically similar to humans reproduce rapidly. That is they make several generations quickly. So, if the research want to see what will happen several generations after they make an experimental change, they are likely to use fruit flies.


Why do fruit flies have white eyes?

they dont well actually some fruit flies do. it depends on if they are a mutant type of fruit fly or not. there are also flies that have messed up wings, these types of flies are called vestigial. there are also fruit flies that don't even have eyes. all of these types of fruit flies are mutants and are used for testing.

How can organisms like bacteria and fruit flies be used to learn about human genetics?

Because DNA works basically the same way in all organismsAlso, because it is much faster to test something on a fruitfly, with its much shorter lifespan. You can examine several generations very quicky.You can perform experiments on bacteria and fruit flies which would be inhumane if performed on human beings.
