Model organisms are organisms used for research. They are alive‚ non-human species used for the purpose of studying different human diseases or other related experiments in which human testing would be considered either unsafe or unethical. Scientists study a particular biological phenomenon on a model organism and try to relate their findings to other types of organisms that are more difficult to study. As an example‚ 60% of human disease genes have an equivalent in the fruit fly and nematode worm
