A female Drosophila, commonly known as the fruit fly, is a small insect belonging to the genus Drosophila, particularly Drosophila melanogaster. It is often used in genetic research due to its short life cycle, ease of breeding, and well-mapped genome. Female Drosophila can be distinguished from males by their larger size, the presence of a broader abdomen, and distinct abdominal patterns. They play a crucial role in studying inheritance, development, and behavior in genetics.

How many chromosomes in a haploid drosophila cell?
8
Why neurospora known as drosophila of plant kingdom?
Since it is used extensively in genetic studies just like Drosophila melanogaster. It is also known as the guinea pig of microbiology.
Which two genes are closest on a genetic map of Drosophila?
The two genes that are closest on a genetic map of Drosophila are usually white (w) and vermilion (v) genes.
Why only male drosophila exhibit complete linkage?
In Drosophila, male flies have only one X chromosome, so any gene located on the X chromosome will exhibit complete linkage in males because there is no second X chromosome to allow for recombination. Females have two X chromosomes, which can undergo crossing over during meiosis, leading to recombination of genes.
How many chromosome pairs are in Drosophila?
The karyotype of Drosophila comprises four pairs of chromosomes, of which three pairs are autosomes and one pair are sex chromosomes. Female Drosophila are XX, and males XY.

What has the author Anssi Saura written?

What are the differences in genetic mutations between two species of flies, Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans?
The genetic mutations between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans differ in their specific variations and frequencies, leading to distinct traits and characteristics in each species.
What are the different types of fruit flies and how do they differ from each other?
There are several types of fruit flies, including Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila suzukii, and Drosophila simulans. These fruit flies differ in their physical characteristics, behavior, and preferred habitats. For example, Drosophila suzukii is known for infesting ripe fruit, while Drosophila melanogaster is commonly used in scientific research.
