Drosophila melanogaster is a member of the insect class that is used to prove the truth of Mendel's monohybrid and dihybrid crossing theory. Fruit flies were chosen as the object of the experiment because they are easy to find, have many offspring, have various phenotypes, have many mutants, and male flies do not crossbreed. This experiment aims to practice making monohybrid and dihybrid crosses and calculate the phenotype ratio of F1 and F2 offspring. The method used in this experiment is to make a medium for the fruit flies, inoculate for transferring fruit flies, and conduct monohybrid and dihybrid crossing methods. The results obtained will interpret the phenotype ratio in F1 and F2 offspring. This experiment concludes that the factors that control each character will separate at the time of gamete formation, and the factors that determine different characters are entered freely from each other.
