Question

scientists often use fruit flies as a method to test hypotheses about human genes. why are fruit flies advantageous in the study of human inheritance?
they can self - pollinate.
they lack nucleic acids.
they are very different from humans.
they reproduce quickly and take up little space.

Explanation:

Fruit - flies reproduce rapidly, allowing for many generations to be studied in a short time, and they need little space for experimentation. They do not self - pollinate, they have nucleic acids, and their genetic similarities to humans are what make them useful, not differences.

Answer:

D. They reproduce quickly and take up little space.
