Frogs are often used to study development because why?
A
They have unusual genetic systems
B
Their eggs are large enough to see with the naked eye
C
Their embryos are transparent
D
They contain a small number of chromosomes
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: Frogs are a common model organism in developmental biology studies.
Consider the characteristics of frog eggs: They are large and visible to the naked eye, which makes them easy to observe and manipulate in a laboratory setting.
Evaluate the transparency of frog embryos: This transparency allows researchers to observe developmental processes in real-time without invasive techniques.
Analyze the genetic aspect: While frogs do not have unusual genetic systems, their genetic makeup is well-studied and provides valuable insights into vertebrate development.
Conclude why frogs are used: The combination of large, visible eggs and transparent embryos makes frogs an ideal model for studying developmental processes.
