Oh god yes. Them Chem paper here is the exact same fucking thing, and even better it was a requirement for the biochemistry papers for my genetics major. Which I ditched.
Humans are not a model organism, because humans (or rather, human embryos) cannot be used for experiments to test things like "how do teratogens influence limb development in vertebrates".
Model organisms are used to answer questions like these, and the similarity of the model organism to humans gives a reasonable answer as to what the effect would be on humans, without the awkward ramifications of deformed babies down the track.
