RE: Dumbfounding appraisal of fly species suggests that there might be more fly species than researchers and scientists actually think. And why should we care about the biodiversity of flies?

Imagine how difficult the possibility of running clinical and laboratory tests would have been if there are no species that are closely related, genetically and otherwise, to the human.

yh. most model organisms have saved we humans a loy of energy and time. besides the fruit fly, there are other organisms we can use foe these experiments. Here are other model organisms used in the study of genetics

Thanks for your response

This is awesome as scientists won't lack for test objects.
