Drosophila melanogaster is advantageous for research due to its simple cultivation, rapid life cycle, high offspring count, easily identifiable sexes, and observable hereditary variations under low magnification.
Advantages of using Drosophila melanogaster include ease of growth on synthetic medium, a two-week life cycle, large progeny from a single mating, easily distinguishable sexes, and visible hereditary variations under a low-power microscope.
