Nematodes: the worm and its relatives

[...]genetic experiments involving multiple generations can be completed in only a few days. * Propagation is simple, as the standard sexual morph is the self-fertilising hermaphrodite.

description [...]genetic experiments involving multiple generations can be completed in only a few days. * Propagation is simple, as the standard sexual morph is the self-fertilising hermaphrodite. Because of this mode of reproduction, issues of inbreeding depression (where inbreeding results in lowered reproductive fitness of lines because of homozygous deleterious mutations) are largely absent. The rest of the "pseudocoelomates" are now placed in the Lophotrochozoa [75],[76], a group that includes Mollusca (snails and clams), Annelida (ragworms and earthworms), and Platyhelminthes (flatworms), amongst others. [...]the worm is only one nematode of many, and nematodes are only one sort of worm.
