Question

Justify the role of model organisms in Genomic studies.

Answer 1

Many model organisms can breed in large numbers. Mutants allow scientists to study certain characteristics or diseases. These are model organisms that have undergone a change or mutation?in their DNA? that may result in a change in a certain characteristic.

With virtual labs, scientists can perform experiments that are difficult to do in actual labs. They also can quickly identify factors that are important to include in lab-based experiments. Researchers use computer simulations to track biological processes in cells and research organisms.
