(a) E. coli
(b) D. melanogaster
(c)S. cerevisiae
(d) C. elegans

Respuesta :

Answer: Option C " S. cerevisiae"

Explanation: Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be used as a model system for the fundamental cellular process related to eukaryotic organism.

The reason it is being used for the study of eukaryotic cells is as follows:

1- It has high multiplication rate.

2- As per the study, more than 60% of the functional gene is known.

3- 30% of the human genes has the same homology to this yeast

Hence, S. cerevisiae is used as a model organism for studying eukaryotic cells.
