Through his experiments on fruit flies, Morgan found that Mendel's principles applied to organisms and plants, and to humans as well. Thomas Hunt Morgan was an evolutionary biologist.
It showed that the father played an important role in determining the sex-linked traits of offspring.
Morgan use fruit flies because they were cheap and reproduced quicky.
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.
The reason scientists like to use Fruit Flies for experiments, it because they have such a short life, that it won't really matter if you accidentally kill it. Also, when scientists conduct an experiment, they like to test it on large groups. Fruit flies can create 500 hundred babies in less than two weeks.

thomas hunt morgan studied fruit flies. :)
One of Thomas Hunt Morgan's valid hypotheses was the idea that genes are located on chromosomes. Through his experiments on fruit flies, he provided evidence supporting this hypothesis, which laid the foundation for the field of genetics.
yes
They were used by Gregor Mendel to discover the basic laws of genetics.
Fruit flies
Thomas Hunt Morgan determined the relationship between chromosomes and heredity. Thomas Hunt Morgan won a Nobel Prize for his work with genetics and heredity.
He gave an understanding of how chromosomes effect heredity.
