Fruit Flies

Fruit flies can be:

Tephritidae, a family of flies for large size Drosophilidae, a family of small-size fruit flies, including: Drosophila melanogaster, a species commonly called "fruit flies", and commonly used as a model in modern biology

Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) may be for most people an annoying and disgusting animal especially when these animals often become enemies for fruit sellers and juice drinks. Its presence will make buyers reluctant to buy fruit or juice when the place to store fruits or rotten fruit residue or fruit skin that is dumped in a lot of garbage dikerumuni by this fly. But who would have thought, fruit flies in the hands of biological people, especially for people who are involved in the field of Genetics fruit fly to be "prima donna animal". Yes it does play an important role in some genetic tests, such as in the Mendel Hypothesis testing, either Mendel's Law or Segregation Law and Mendel II's Law or the Separate Law of Free, sex, crossing over, political chromosomes and so on.

The first person to use fruit flies as an object of genetic research is Thomas Hunt Morgan who managed to find sex discovery. Species of fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a commonly harmless common insect that is a fungus-eating creature that grows on the fruit. Fruit flies are easy-to-breed insects. From one marriage alone can be produced hundreds of offspring, and the new generation can be bred every two weeks. This characteristic makes fruit flies an organism that is well suited for genetic studies.

Here is a classification of Drosophila melanogaster (Borror, 1992):
Kingdom Animalia
Phyllum Arthropoda
Insecta Class
Order of Diptera
Family Drosophilidae
Drosophila genus
Drosophila species melanogaster
