General question Created on 20 Jul 2018

Hello, I got a question that I haven't been able to answer myself nor find any resources in order to.

Which of the following model organisms is the least suitable for genetic analysis and why?

a) mouse
b) xenopus
c) zebrafish
d) drosophila
e) chicken

So, I know drosophila is definitely out of the question, since it's been probably studied the most extensively. I suppose mouse is also fairly well researched in its genetics. But I don't know about the other model organisms.

I read that xenopus and chicken are poorly researched in their genetic makeup, but what about the zebrafish and which one is the worst of the lot? (http://www.mun.ca/biology/desmid/brian/BIOL3530/DB_03/DBNVert1.html)

Could somebody please elucidate or give me a link that has the information? Thank you!
