Scientists use brown rats to study genetic diseases because brown rats and humans share many of the same genetic diseases. Which statement describes why brown rats experience similar genetic diseases as humans

Respuesta :

The correct statements associated with question are given below:

Brown rat have an omnivorous diet similar to that of humans.

Brown rat have nucleotide sequences similar to those of humans.

Brown rat go through embryonic stages similar to those of humans.

Brown rat produce gametes through a process that is similar to that of humans.

Answer:

The correct answer is - Brown rat have nucleotide sequences similar to those of humans.

Explanation:

Genetic disease are the disease that are related to the mutation in the gene  or DNA in the genome of an organism. DNA are made up of the nucleotde sequences which are specific for the specific function and any cahnge of the function due to the alteration or change in the sequence will result in the genetic disease and passed to the next generation.

Most of the genetic disease takes place due to mutation in nucleotide sequence so if two distinct organism share same nucleotide sequenc e the most likely to show similiar type of genetic disease.
