Fruit fly labs demonstrate life cycles since their life span is so short. It can also demonstrate genetic mutations in a population.

Would an extra pair of wings on a fruit fly help or hinder it?

It's a rather small genetical mutation to add an extra pair of wings to a fruit fly. When done in a lab, the fruit flies with extra wings couldn't fly at all. Also, according to the theory of evolutionary theory, if this extra winged fly would have better chances of surviving it would compete with the one-winged until they completely took over (which obviously hasn't happned). So in short: it would hinder it.
