When Morgan mated a white-eyed male fruit fly with a red-eyed female fruit fly, the first generation offspring all had red eyes. In the next generation, because females would have the X chromosome for white eyes, about half the offspring would have white eyes. The offspring with white eyes were all male, meaning he discovered eye color in fruit flies showed a sex-linked trait. The result of this was a generation of red eyed and white eyed individuals. If the red eyed female was heterozygous, this is possible.
Fruit flies lay eggs and when the eggs develop, the flies are born. Flies can lay hundreds of eggs at once.
i just got two peepers and they eat fruit flies (if you have fruit flies they will get rid of them) leaves,small crickets and ants
The sample size should include several hundred fruit flies, at the very least. The more fruit flies there are in the experiment, the more accurate it will be.
Because fruit flies have small cell counts Because the life cycle of a fruit fly is short enough to actually see a change in a short period of time. With larger animals, it could take many years to see an actual change. With fruit flies, you can see many generations of change in a shorter period of time.
thomas hunt morgan studied fruit flies. :)
Morgan use fruit flies because they were cheap and reproduced quicky.
Morgan's research lead to one of the common diagrams used to predict the result of crossbreeding, the Punnett square.
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.
yes
Fruit flies
The scientist that studied fruit flies was Thomas Hunt Morgan. He was born in 1855 and died at the age of 79 in 1945. He was an evolutionary biologist.
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.
He gave an understanding of how chromosomes effect heredity.
