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

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.
