$\huge{{\mid{\fbox{\tt{ANSWER}}\mid}}}$

Fruit fly Drosophila is a tiny fly of about 2 mm size which is found over ripe fruits like mango and banana. Drosophila is suitable as experimental material because of following reasoni

• It could be grown on simple synthetic medium in the laboratory
• The Ily has a short life cycle of about two weeks. The fruit fly can be bred throughout the year so that numerous generations can be obtained in a single year.
• A single mating produces hundreds of offspring

• Females are easily distinguishable from the males by the larger body size and presence of avipositor (egg-laying structure)
• It has a smaller number (4 pairs) of morphologically distinct chromosomes.
• It has many types of hereditary variations that can be seen with low power microscopes.
• it has heteromorphic (dissimilar) sex chromosomes in the male (XY). The transmission of hateromorphic chromosomes can be easily studied from one generation to another.
