If you are borrowing information from a website, you have to give that website credit. So, you need to know how to properly cite a website to avoid plagiarizing someone elseâs work. I know my teachers in high school and college took citing sources very seriously.
a genus of fly, which includes Drosophila melanogaster, the Mediterranean fruit fly. It is useful in genetic experiments because of the large chromosomes found in its salivary glands and its sensitivity to environmental effects, such as exposure to radiation.
But fruit flies are the most species-rich, the most diverse, and the most endemic of all: more than 800 species have been described from Hawaii. Of these, there are 250 species in the genus Drosophila alone, all but 12 confined to the islands: this is 25% of all the species of Drosophila in the world.
