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
