-Despite tongue rolling being probably the most commonly used example of a genetic trait in humans, it is a myth that a gene is responsible for the skill. The studies demonstrate that tongue rolling is both influenced by genetics and by the environment.

-The Drosophila melanogaster is a small insect from the order of flies that lives on rotting fruit. It is a species belonging to the invertebrate model organisms. Due to its easy breeding, simple crossbreeding, and rapid growth, it was used by Thomas Morgan in his research on the chromosome theory of heredity.+The Drosophila melanogaster is a small insect from the order of flies that lives on rotting fruit.

 Batology is the science that deals with the study of blackberries. Narrow specialization in the study of this genus serves to understand the very complex variation at the genetic and morphological level of blackberries, consequently also the systematics of these plants. Batology is the science that deals with the study of blackberries.
