1.	Drosophila melanogaster is found to be very suitable for genetic studies because (i) They could be grown in simple synthetic medium in the laboratory (ii) They complete their life-cycle in about 14 days (iii) A single mating could produce a large number of progents (iv) Male and females are clearly distinguishable (v) It has few hereditary variations that can be seen with high power microscopes Select how many are correct statements.A. 5B. 4C. 2D. 3
Answer» Correct Answer - B Drosophila melanogaster find very suitable for genetic studies because (ii) They could be grown in simple synethetic medium in the laboratory. They complete their life-cycle in about 14 days. A single mating could produce a large number of progenies. Male and females are clearly distinguishable. It has many hereditary variations that can be seen with low power microscopes.
