The genital mouse is a variant of wild sturtle rats, belonging to the animal kingdom, phylum Vertebrate, Mammal, Rodent, and mouse species. The most widely-raised species in my country are introduced from an Indian research institute in 1946 to Kunming, Yunnan. In the 1950s, it was introduced from Kunming to the Beijing Institute of Biological Products and later transported to various parts of the country for feeding. Scientists always use guinea pigs to do various experiments. Mice are widely used in experiments and tests on safety, toxicity and efficacy in food, cosmetics, medicines, biological products, industrial products, medicines, and life sciences. Why are guinea pigs suitable for experiments?
Scientists use guinea pigs for experiments. Reason 1: The gene sequence is similar to that of humans.
The gene sequence of guinea pigs in mice is similar to that of humans. Some medical scientific research and clinical experiments are completed by guinea pigs. It is very good to do genetic experiments with mice because their entire genome is extremely similar to humans. Many diseases that are difficult to cure in humans can find similar traits in mice, and thus experiments can discover the treatment genes.
Scientists use white mice for experiments for 2: There is almost no individual difference
The experimental white mice have great biological significance. After a hundred years of exploration, the cultivation method of pure mice has formed a fixed process. The mice cultivated have almost no individual differences (physiologically). In general natural populations, the individual differences between the same species are very large (although the appearance is the same), which is mainly reflected in the innate physical fitness. The choice of pure white mice is mainly to minimize the innate individual differences.
Scientists use guinea pigs for experiments for three reasons: sufficient number
Abundant number, many experiments require statistical analysis, which requires a certain number. Rats and guinea pigs, especially guinea pigs, can meet this requirement under artificial breeding conditions. Good experiments require strict control of the breeds of experimental animals, which can be easily solved with mice.
Scientists use mice for experiments for four reasons: They also belong to mammals
and also have animal grades. Mice are also mammals after all. In addition to being small in size, they are not inferior to the evolutionary level of other mammals. Small body shape becomes a favorable condition for artificial breeding and feeding.
