Chapter 33.5, Problem 2CC

WHAT IF? Ø The insect Drosophila melanogaster and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans are prominent model organisms. Are these species the most appropriate invertebrates for making inferences about humans and other vertebrates? Explain.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Assume that you discovered Caenorhabditis elegans that crawl significantly slower than others. How would you determine whether this behavior was due to an injury from the environment or to an inherited trait? A goal of using animal models is to explain the molecular detail of specific behaviors encoded in the human brain. How would you compare the developmental biology experiments on memory and learning using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as evidence about the evolution of a human behavior?
Thinking Analytically Do you think there are more species of animals on land or in the ocean? What about absolute numbers of animals—are there more animals on land or in the ocean?
How humans learn and remember things is still one of the major unsolvedbiological mysteries. Much of what is currently understood about learning andmemory and the biological basis of behaviour comes from the study ofinvertebrates, including the gastropod molluscs. Describe the types ofexperiments that have been performed on gastropods and the extent to whicheach has increased our understanding of how animals learn.
