What are some characteristics of model genetic organisms that make them useful for genetic studies?
In studies of how traits are inherited, what makes certain species candidates for model organisms? a. They are the first organisms to be used in a particular type of experiment, so they are a historical "model" of what researchers expect to find. b. They are easy to study because a great deal is already known about them. c. They are the best or most fit of their type. d. They are easy to maintain, have a short life cycle, produce many offspring, and yield data that are relevant to many other organisms.

Give four detailed reasons why C. elegans is included in the list of model organisms used widely in research and in developmental biology, in particular. In each of your answers describe a trait of the organism and how that is useful in research. At least one of these answers should be unique to C. elegans.
