No, Gregor Mendel did not work with the fruit fly. He conducted his experiments on heredity using pea plants (Pisum sativum) in the mid-19th century. Mendel's work laid the foundation for the field of genetics, while the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, became a model organism for genetic studies later, particularly in the early 20th century by scientists like Thomas Hunt Morgan.
