Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Many of the life forms share various similar processes, structures, and molecules. Scientists conduct researches on simple organisms, which provide an insight into the processes that take place inside complex organisms. These simpler organisms are known as model organisms. There are various properties of model organisms because of which scientist use them for their studies.
