Description
Drosophila is renowned not just as a common laboratory subject but also for its astonishing ability to smell fruit from far distances. Contrary to popular belief, Drosophila doesn鈥檛 spontaneously generate from rotten fruit; they are actually attracted by the yeast produced during fermentation. This genus plays a crucial role in scientific research, contributing vastly to our understanding of genetics and developmental biology due to their rapid life cycle and genetic simplicity.
