Question

Why drosophila melanogaster is a good experimental organism?

Answer 1

Genetic manipulations are so much easier in fruit flies because they have a smaller genome which was fully sequenced in March 2000 2. Their short life cycle and large number of offspring are also advantageous for genetic research because new fly lines are quick and easy to make. .

Answer 2

The fruit fly is well understood at the phenotype level and has a simple genome, enabling molecular genetics studies. ... Despite this, it still has ~60% of the genes involved in human genetic diseases and some cancers.
