Humans are not experimented on to that degree because it is not humane. Pea plants also grow and develop rapidly and produce seeds. Pea plants are less complex than humans.

Why cant patterns of inheritance in humans be as easily studied as in peas or fruit flies?
Humans produce few offspring slowly
Why can't patterns of inheritance in humans be as easily studied as in peas or fruit flies?
humans produce few offspring slowly
Why are fruit flies an ideal organism for genetics research?
Drosophila(fruit flies) can produce plenty of offspring and have specific traits, such as eye color and body color/shape. They are easy to observe and therefore easily traced throughout the following generations.
Why might a geneticist use fruit flies to study how genes function?
WikiAnswers cannot write an essay for you. And the topic of the essay sounds promising as a way for you to learn more about human genetics.
What should fruit flies should i cross to get mutant fruit flies other than the white-eyed?
They see better than white eyes furit flies
Was Morgan the first to use fruit flies in genetics experiments?
yes
Who eat fruit?
Fruit flies eat fruit and so do humans
What two organisms are called ''model'' organisms for genetics?
fruit flies and mice
What conclusions did Morgan arrive at with his experiments on fruit flies and why did they extend Mendel's conclusions?
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.
What might biologists learn from studying generations of fruit flies?
from studying the generation of fruit flies you can find out that some of them have white eyes, and you can do the genetics table to find out what eye color the baby's will have. It's called the study of genetics, we're learning about it this year!!!!!!
What type of relationship do fruit flies have with humans?
When humans see fruit flies, they instinctively try to chase them away. Many households have a spray that can be used to kill the flying insects.
Do fruit flies and humans have about the same evolutionary relationship to wheat?
Yes, fruit flies and humans have the same evolutionary relationship to wheat. All animals have the same relationship to plants in evolution.
Why can't patterns of inheritance in humans be as easily studied as in peas and frruit flies.?
Firstly, peas and fruit flies come to maturity much faster than humans so you can fit in lots of generations in a practicable time. Secondly, fruit flies have a much simpler genotype than we do. Finally there are far fewer ethical restrictions when you experiment on flies or peas.
Why fruit flies used an experiment and net humans?
I am assuming you mean 'Why are fruit flys used in experiments and not humans?' in which case the answer is there are so many fruit flies and they are not really neccicary to us humans. Also if something goes wrong, humans could die or get mentally ill. Fruit flys just croak over and aren't missed. Correct me if I am wrong please.
