genetic inheritance pattern is X-Linked traits (Brooker 1999). Drosophila‚ or fruit flies‚ was chosen for the study of X-Linked traits for multiple reasons. Fruit flies are small insects approximately 3mm long‚ and thus use minimal space when compared to other species. The diet of fruit flies is simple and does not require extraneous foods or materials (Ullrey 2011). Additionally‚ the life cycle of fruit flies is quite short‚ lasting approximately 26 days for a female and approximately 33
