Most of what we know about animal development comes from studies in model organisms like C. elegans and D. melanogaster. Why are these studies useful for learning about human development? a) The genes involved in development are evolutionarily conserved O b) Genes that are active in development of other animals are not likely to be active in human development O c) Studies in model organisms are not useful for understanding human development O d) All animal development is the exactly same, including human development

Transcribed Image Text:Most of what we know about animal development comes from studies in model
organisms like C. elegans and D. melanogaster. Why are these studies useful for
learning about human development?
O a) The genes involved in development are evolutionarily conserved
O b) Genes that are active in development of other animals are not likely to be
active in human development
Oc) Studies in model organisms are not useful for understanding human
development
O d) All animal development is the exactly same, including human development
Expert Solution
Step 1
Model organisms refer to species other than humans that are used to study specific biological phenomena. It is expected that findings in these organisms will provide an understanding of the study of other organisms. Model organisms are mostly used for research related to humans’ disease as human experimentation is unethical.
