A) C. elegans
B) Human
C) Mouse
D) Rhesus Monkey
E) C. elegans and Human

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C. elegans is a small, easily genetically manipulated animal with a well-established genetic map. Chromosome walking involves moving along the chromosome in small steps, and C. elegans has a relatively small genome with fewer repetitive sequences, making it easier to navigate and identify unique DNA markers. Both humans and mice genomes are larger, contain more repetitive DNA sequences, and have greater ethical considerations for genetic manipulation.
