Answer:

The genome of mice is similar to that of human beings, therefore their physiological mechanism is similar to that of ours. Using mice for research purposes is beneficial because they are small and low maintenance, and unlike other animals they easily adapt. The physiological processes of mice such as reproduction are fast, therefore scientists will get results much faster.

Mice are an invasive species so we want them gone, and with people they don't usually risk they're life for some trial that won't work. Scientist can use mice to see what they need to fix or do different, without hurting people

Given our understanding of genetics, we can confirm that the gene in question is of the homeotic type.

In biology, we refer to a gene as the most basic unit of genetic information.
It is a segment of DNA that encodes for a certain trait that <u>may or may not be expressed.</u>
A gene carries the information for a specific trait, for example:

1) Eye color

2) Body organization

3) Height

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What does it mean for a gene to be homeotic?</h3>

In the case of this question, the gene in question is a homeotic gene.
Homeotic genes are those that are in charge of the organization of the organism's body.
These genes control the <u>general pattern of the body</u>, such as where the arms and legs will be, and so on.

Therefore, given the definition of a homeotic gene, we can confirm that this is the type that best fits the description of the mutation in the question since it affected the formation and normal organization of the body.
