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.

What does drosophila refers to the classification group?
Drosophila is a genus of small flies, referred to as fruit flies, belonging to the family Drosophilidae. These flies are commonly studied in biological research due to their short life cycles and easy maintenance in laboratory settings.
Why can't patterns of inheritance on humans be easily studied in peas or fruit flies?
Patterns of inheritance in humans cannot be easily studied in peas or fruit flies because of ethical concerns and the complexity of human genetics compared to the simpler genetics of peas and fruit flies. Additionally, certain traits or diseases that affect humans may not be present in these model organisms. Human genetics also involve interactions with environmental factors, making it more challenging to isolate genetic influences.
What are the 5 traits commonly used when studying genetics when using fruit flies?
The five traits commonly studied when using fruit flies in genetics are eye color, wing shape, body color, bristle number, and behavior. These traits can help researchers understand genetic inheritance patterns and gene interactions in fruit flies.
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.
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.

Which fruit flies did thomas hunt Morgan use?
thomas hunt morgan studied fruit flies. :)
Which scientist studied 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.
What American zoologist studied fruit flies?

Why cant patterns inheritance in humans be as easily studied as in peas or fruit flies?
Humans produce few offspring slowly

Do fruit flies become big flies?
No, they stay fruit flies.
How do fruit flies infest fruit?
Fruit flies infest fruit by actually burrowing into the fruit, and laying their eggs inside of it. So when they hatch, the fruit flies then devour their environment
Are you eating fruit fly larva when you eat fruit with fruit flies on it?
You probably are if female fruit flies were on it.

When are fruit flies decomposers?
Fruit flies are in fact decomposers. Ripe or rotting fruit is a mainstay in the diet of a fruit fly. Fruit flies also breed and lay larva in these environment.
