Why do you think scientists track the genes of other organisms such as rats or mice in the database? do you think rat genes are important to human gene research?

Plato Answer;

The similarities suggest that humans and mice share a close evolutionary relationship. This makes sense because they are both vertebrates, and they are also both mammals. This genetic connection makes mice important research animals because they likely have a similar anatomical structure and body functions. Also, mice could be used to test the effectiveness of different treatments for genetic conditions. They could also be used to evaluate the effect of certain gene mutations on overall health.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
