Why did Thomas Hunt Morgan use fruit flies in his studies?

Biology
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Thomas Hunt Morgan used fruit flies to study genetics for several reasons. First, fruit flies have a short life cycle that lasts an average of just 30 days. This means genetic traits can be studied over dozens of generations in the course of a year. This rapid reproductive cycle is impossible to match in any mammalian model, even mice or rats. Second, fruit flies produce huge numbers of offspring.

Answer/Explanation:

DNA is replicated through semi-conservative replication. This produces two copies of a double stranded DNA molecule, each possessing one copy of the original molecule. This occurs prior to the cell dividing, in the synthesis stage of the cell cycle.

Enzymes use the original DNA molecule as a template to produce a new strand of DNA. This occurs through the progressive addition of nucleotides, which are added as complementary base pairs matching the template strand. This means the new strand is <em>complementary </em>to the template strand. This processes is generally free of errors, but errors can be introduced during replication, causing mutations in the DNA.
