Answer:
Explanation:
1. Progeny observed in the experiment is calculated by adding all the progeny numbers observed in the :
TIME TO FRUIT TENDRIL SIZE FRUIT COLOR NUMBER
Normal normal dark 370
normal normal light 32
early normal light 971
early normal dark 28
early reduced dark 25
early reduced light 483
normal reduced light 36
normal reduced dark 810
TOTAL
PROGENCY <u>2755</u>

2. The locus in the center is TIME TO FRUIT. Tendril size is at the beginning of the locus and the distance between the locus B and locus C is R2

Answer:
The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"
Explanation:
The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.
