What is the most important reason to sequence an entire genome of a model organism,such as that of C.elegans,a nematode?
A) it allows researchers to use the sequence to build a "better" nematode, which is resistant to disease.
B) it allows research on a group of organisms we do not usually care much about.
C) the nematode is a good animal model for trying out cures for viral illness.
D) a sequence that is found to have a particular function in the nematode is likely to have a closely related function in vertebrates.
E) a sequence that is found to have no introns in the nematode genome is likely to have acquired the introns from higher organisms.
