been in use for over a century to study genetics and lends itself well to behavioral studies. Thomas Hunt Morgan was the preeminent biologist studyingDrosophila early in the 1900's. Morgan was the first to discover sex-linkage and genetic recombination, which placed the small fly in the forefront of genetic research. Due to it's small size, ease of culture and short generation time, geneticists have been usingDr os ophila ever since. It is one of the few organisms whose entire genome is known and many genes have been identified.

Fruit flies are easily obtained from the wild and most biological science companies carry a variety of different mutations. In addition these companies sell any equipment needed to culture the flies. Costs are relatively low and most equipment can be used year after year. There are a variety of laboratory exercises one could purchase, although the necessity to do so is questionable.

There are a few methods in fainting the flies. In this practical, we are given chloroform of anesthetization kit for fainting the flies. The lab assistants show to us the technique. The newly fainted flies should be examined immediately. Always ready with cotton or cotton buds with the anesthetizer before hands as to avoid the sudden awaken of the flies.

Firstly we identify the wild type and mutant flies. We had examined their morphology thoroughly before we do the crosses. We use the dissecting microscope in lab to examine the flies.

When we see the larvas have emerged from the medium, we took out the parents and kill them immediately. The Tutor and lab assistants had shown us how to kill the flies. We also make sure that no one of flies flying in the lab.
