WHAT IS A MODEL ORGANISM?

The term model organism is used to describe 

any non-human species that is used in scientific research 

to better understand the causes and potential treatments 

of human diseases.

 Model organisms are used for experiments that would be considered

 unfeasible or unethical to carry out with humans.
