Which model organism is commonly used to study the development of the nervous system?

  1. Drosophila melanogaster

  2. Caenorhabditis elegans

  3. Xenopus laevis

  4. Danio rerio


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Drosophila melanogaster, also known as the fruit fly, is a widely used model organism for studying the development of the nervous system due to its short generation time, ease of genetic manipulation, and well-characterized developmental processes.

Which model organism is often used to study the development of the cardiovascular system?

  1. Mus musculus

  2. Rattus norvegicus

  3. Gallus gallus

  4. Danio rerio


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Danio rerio, also known as the zebrafish, is a commonly used model organism for studying the development of the cardiovascular system due to its transparent embryos, rapid development, and genetic tractability.

Which model organism is frequently employed to study the development of the immune system?

  1. Mus musculus

  2. Rattus norvegicus

  3. Drosophila melanogaster

  4. Caenorhabditis elegans


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mus musculus, commonly known as the mouse, is a widely used model organism for studying the development of the immune system due to its genetic similarity to humans, well-established immunological tools, and the availability of genetically modified strains.

Which model organism is often utilized to study the development of the reproductive system?

  1. Xenopus laevis

  2. Gallus gallus

  3. Drosophila melanogaster

  4. Caenorhabditis elegans


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Xenopus laevis, also known as the African clawed frog, is a commonly used model organism for studying the development of the reproductive system due to its large and easily accessible eggs, rapid development, and the ability to manipulate gene expression.

Which model organism is frequently employed to study the development of the respiratory system?

  1. Gallus gallus

  2. Rattus norvegicus

  3. Danio rerio

  4. Caenorhabditis elegans


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Gallus gallus, commonly known as the chicken, is a widely used model organism for studying the development of the respiratory system due to its accessible embryos, well-characterized developmental stages, and the ability to manipulate gene expression.
