In the early 1900s Thomas Hunt Morgan
experimented with fruit flies to study
genetics. The advantages to using fruit flies
are 1. small in size 2. easy to keep in the
lab 3. quickly produces large numbers of
offspring 4. large chromosomes

6. Explain what independent assortment means.
36
7. What is the difference between
incomplete dominance and codominance?
37
8. Why are fruit flies an ideal organism
for genetic research?

9. A geneticist studying coat color in animals
crosses a male rabbit having the genotype CC
with a female having genotype Ccch. The
geneticist then crosses a ccch male with a Ccch
female. In which of the two crosses are the
offspring more likely to show greater genetic
variation? Use Punnett squares to exlain your
answer.
