Genetics of Drosophila First‚ Drosophila is the common fruit fly. The common fruit fly is some of the best organisms to study for genetic research and experimentation. This is true for a few reasons‚ the first of which is the small number of chromosomes which is 4‚ and that we have identified the genome. This means all traits are known and we can figure out where mutations take place. The second reason is the fly’s ability to reproduce quickly. A new generation is produced every week‚ allowing
