The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster was found to be very suitable for experimental verification of the chromosomal theory of inheritance by Morgan and his colleagues because:

1. a single mating produces two young flies
2. smaller female is easily recognisable from a large male
3. it completes its life cycle in about two weeks
4. it reproduces parthenogenetically
