T. H. Morgan worked on the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Which of the following is not an advantage of this fly?

1. They could be grown on a simple synthetic medium in the laboratory.
2. They complete their life cycle in about two years, and a single mating could produce a large number of progeny flies.
3. There was a clear differentiation of the sexes – the male and female flies are easily distinguishable.
4. It has many types of hereditary variations that can be seen with low-power microscopes.

When Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny, the F2 ratio deviated very significantly from the 9:3:3:1 ratio. This can be attributed to the fact that:

1. The genes are located on the X and Y chromosomes.
2. Fruit fly has abnormal chromosomes.
3. The genes are located on the X chromosome.
4. The genes exhibit incomplete dominance.
