    DROSOPHILA GENETICS DROSOPHILA CULTURE We will study basic principles of Mendelian inheritance with the use of the fruit fly‚ Drosophila melanogaster [the name means “black-bodied fruit-lover”]. Drosophila was one of the first organisms to be studied genetically: its small size‚ short life cycle (10 ~14 days at 25oC)‚ high reproductive rate (an adult female can lay 400-500 eggs in 10 days)‚ and ease of culture and genetic manipulation have made it perhaps the best understood animal genetic system.
