Why C.Elegans are important to study in biology?
C. elegans is a harmless relative of the eel worm and attack
root of crops. C. elegans develops like clockwork very precisely from which it
fertilised egg cell to a 959 body cells which is quite rear to see in a animal
nevertheless it has enabled scientist to study the detailed sequence of events
as the cells becomes more specialised and divide which has allowed to make
rules and predications as C. elegans has 70% human genes counterpart in the
worm. It has given us a detailed molecular understanding of apoptosis in
particular which is programmed cell death by which surplus of cell are disposed
in all animals which is a topic of great importance in cancer research.
