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.
In Drosophila, an individual female fly was observed to be of the XXY chromosome complement (normal autosomal complement) and to have white eyes as contrasted with the normal red eye color of wild type. The female's mother and father had red eyes. The mother, however, was heterozygous for the gene for white eyes.
