Detailed explanation-1: -Thomas Hunt Morgan was the first person to discover linkage in Drosophila. Morgan went through several dihybrid crosses in Drosophila for the study of sex-linked genes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Morgan and his lab determined that Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly, has four linkage groups.
Detailed explanation-3: -Drosophila has 4 pairs of chromosomes and 4 linkage groups. 2-Man has 23 pairs of chromosomes and 23 linkage groups.
Detailed explanation-4: -Drosophila melanogaster, known colloquially as the fruit fly, remains one of the most commonly used model organisms for biomedical science. For more than one hundred years, the low cost, rapid generation time, and excellent genetic tools have made the fly indispensable for basic research.
