Fruit flies were the first organisms to be used for genetic analysis

A Study Of Inheritable Traits in Fruit Flies INTRODUCTION The Drosophila melanogaster‚ more commonly known as the fruit fly‚ is a popular species used in genetic experiments. In fact‚ Thomas Hunt Morgan began using Drosophila in the early 1900’s to study genes and their relation to certain chromosomes(Biology 263).
