explain any sort of similarity between human and pig.?

Answer 2

Hey:
Pigs similarity to humans have to do with their inner body!
(1) Pigs are omnivores and humans are!

(2) A miniature pig's relatively dainty dimensions have caught the eye of scientists, who note that it is about the size of a really large person. This means it is filled with nicely proportioned innards, especially a human-size heart and kidneys.

For this and other reasons, the pig is regarded to be the most practical untapped source of needed body parts for sick and worn-out people. Perhaps 20 labs around the world are working to make pig parts fit for human transplants.

The goal: Clone and genetically modify pigs to "humanize" their organs. As that word implies, the animals are being changed in fundamental ways so they are less like pigs and more like people.

Researchers have already implanted some of these pig organs into baboons with modest success. Big scientific challenges still loom, but within five years, if all goes well, they hope to try them on people, offering redesigned pig hearts, kidneys and other organs to the desperately ill.

(3)Nucleotide similarities between pig ESTs and human genes were determined by ... sequence, etc), alignment similarity .

More of the similarity has to do with the fact that pigs has the same digestive system as us and organs are somewhat similar to ours, in size and function!Hence there are some similarity in our genes!
Its like the rat thats y they use rat for human drug trials but they cant use the rats organs becoz its too small!
Love SANAM

They're anatomically quite similar. Their organs are laid out in pretty much the same way as ours are. That's why pig bits were used in early transplants.
