MindMap Gallery Classic experiments on the genetics of fruit flies
Alfred Sturtevant constructed the first genetic map of Drosophila melanogaster through cross-breeding experiments, revealing the linear arrangement of genes on chromosomes. Calvin Bridges contributed to the understanding of sex determination, gene linkage and recombination in Drosophila, further enriching genetic knowledge. Hermann Muller's mutagenesis experiments revealed the impact of gene mutations on genetic traits, making significant contributions to the development of genetics. These classic experiments jointly propelled the research progress in Drosophila genetics.
