Drosophila melanogaster: The Fruit Fly in Genetics, Development, and Modern Biomedical Research

2025-08-20

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, is a small insect that has been a cornerstone of genetic and developmental biology for over a century. Its remarkable combination of a short life cycle, prolific reproduction, and easily observable traits made it the ideal subject for early genetic studies, leading to groundbreaking discoveries that established the chromosome theory of inheritance. The fruit fly's wel...
