Why is the fruit fly so dangerous?
Fruit flies are not dangerous to humans as they do not bite or transmit diseases. However, they can be a nuisance as they infest and contaminate food. Additionally, fruit flies can reproduce quickly, leading to large populations if not controlled.
Do fruit flies come from fruit?
They come from eggs that might be laid in rotten food substances. It takes 48 hours for them to turn into fruit flies, that is why it seams that they come from nowhere when all it is is that they reproduce really fast.

How do fruit flies get on fruit?
Fruit flies are attracted to ripe or fermenting fruits due to the smell of ethanol that is produced. They can fly long distances and can enter homes through open windows or doors. Once they find a suitable food source, they lay eggs on the fruit, and the larvae hatch and feed on the fruit, leading to an infestation.
Why are fruit flies a popular organism for studying inheritance?
There are several reasons...First of all, studying inheritance takes time and fruit flies have a very quick reproduction cycle so you can quickly get several generations down the line to see if the trait or traits you are studying got passed on. Secondly, they are very simple creatures with only a few chromosomes, making the traits easy to single out and studyFruit flies are used as experimental models for studying patterns of inheritance of genes because the fruit fly contains two identical alleles for every chromosome. It is easier to judge what is going to be the outcome of mating different 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.

Scientists find fruit flies useful to study because some of their genes are very similar to those of humans. The fruit fly is highly susceptible to environmental factors, the genetic effects of which can be seen over the course of a few generations in fruit flies, since they reproduce, age, and pass on so much more quickly than other organisms.
