    A geneticist mixed together many different kinds of fruit flies-some with long wings, some with short wings, some with red eyes, some with brown eyes, and so on. He allowed the flies to feed, mate randomly, and reproduce by the millions. After many generations, most of the flies in the population had medium wings and red eyes, and most of the extreme types has disappeared. This experiment appears to demonstrate

    The genus-Rhagoletis is a group of small, brightly coloured flies.Each species in the genus feeds, during it's larval stagr, on the fruit of just one plant faimily, and when the larvae hatch into adults, they court and mate on the same fruit. The species that feed on fruits from different plant faimilies are reproductively isolated by
