The genomes of many species in this genus, such as simulans and yakuba, have been completely sequenced by Berkeley researchers. One member of this genus has the longest known sperm and is called bifurca. Genders of members of this genus can be distinguished by their "sex combs," and mutations include yellow, ebony, white-eyed, and dumpy. They were studied extensively to test Hugo de Vries' mutation theory by Thomas Hunt Morgan. For 10 points, name this genus of common mo
