The Advantages of Using Model Organisms in Research
Researchers can learn a lot about humans by studying model organisms like C. elegans because we share many functions and genes with them. These organisms can be genetically modified and studied to better understand topics like immune compatibility and potential nurturing ability.

Summary
Model organisms are organisms that are widely studied by researchers worldwide, leading to a vast accumulation of knowledge and resources. Only a handful of organisms, such as E. coli, bacteriophages, C. elegans nematodes, and zebrafish, have been extensively researched in the field of biology and have helped understand significant human diseases.
