Drosophila melanogaster est très utilisée en génétique expérimentale car elle se reproduit vite et bien en laboratoire. De plus, il est facile d'induire des mutations chez cette mouche et elle possède des chromosomes géants. Nous lui devons une grande partie de ce que nous savons sur la transmission du patrimoine génétique. 1, record 1, French, - drosophile
