Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homo sapiens, or humans, are not classified as a "model organism" in the traditional sense used in molecular biology research. Model organisms, such as Danio rerio (zebrafish), Caenorhabditis elegans (a nematode worm), and Arabidopsis (a flowering plant), are selected for their ease of manipulation, short life cycles, and the ability to apply findings to other species, including humans. While humans are the subject of extensive biological and medical research, they are not used as model organisms due to ethical, practical, and biological complexities.
