Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that controls personality, decision-making and reasoning. It is a part of the cerebral cortex and the largest in composition.

Phineas Gage was involved in an accident in which a metal rod destroyed parts of his brain. This incident however brought about a drastic change in his behavior.

This incident helped to establish the relationship between the frontal lobe and behavioral patterns.

Were used to study the genetic effects of mutations.

Were used to establish the concept of chromosomal inheritance.

Explanation:

Drosophila melanogaster is a model organism that is used by scientists to study the genes and effect of a mutation on the genes. Drosophila is used as a model organism as it has a very short life cycle and the offspring can be produced in a short duration of time.

Because of these characteristics, Thomas Hunt Morgan wanted to study the factors of inheritance on the Drosophila and concluded in the form of the chromosomal theory of inheritance by the effect of mutation on genes that lead to linkage mapping.

Also, the salivary gland of fruit fly contains the polytene chromosome which allows us to look into the gene events.

Thus, the selected options are correct.
