Question

scientists often use fruit flies as a method to test hypotheses about human genes. why are fruit flies advantageous in the study of human inheritance? they can self - pollinate. they lack nucleic acids. they are very different from humans. they reproduce quickly and take up little space.

Explanation:

Fruit flies reproduce fast and have small - space requirements, allowing for quick and efficient genetic studies. They do not self - pollinate (plants do), they have nucleic acids as they are living organisms with DNA, and their genetic and biological similarities to humans are what make them useful, not differences.

Answer:

D. They reproduce quickly and take up little space.
