3 We learn a lot of information from model organisms Frequen

3. We learn a lot of information from model organisms. Frequently, these model organisms have a particular “specialty” – a particular field within biology for which the organism has provided a lot of information. Name 2 model organisms and tell what the “specialty” of each is.

Solution

Model organism is a species or strain that has been widely studied, because of easy maintenance, easy breeding in the lab and possess experimental advantages.

E. coli is Gram - ve prokaryotic model organism

Drosophila melanogaster is, model organisms for Animal genetics

Saccharomysis cereveciae or yeast is a model organism for Eukaryotes

Arabidopsis is model organisms for plant studies

All these model organisms possess simple morphology, less genome size, less breading time, mostly related to higher organisms etc
