Solution

Advantage

1. they\'re transparent, making the effects of experiments easily visible.

2.They share most of their genes with humans.

3. It has favourable physical characteristics,

4. have the extensive knowledge base on this organism that now exists.

5. The low relative cost of maintaining a zebrafish facility compared to mice is also important.

Disadvantage

1. the most important factor makes it unsuitable is that zebrafish is not a mammal. it is poikilothermic and developing embryos lack a placenta. So metobolics would be different in that of mammals.
