Since they have such a short life span, scientists are able to study their products at different stages in their life. For example, baby soap could be tested on a mice's first day of life. Furthermore, acne cream could be tested when a mice is at year 1 in its life cycle, which would be considered its teenage years. Last, a cure for Alzheimer's could be tested at around 2-3 years in a mice's life cycle. Another reason animals are accurate to test on is because they are similar to humans in monumental ways. Such as, mice have all the sam organs that humans have. Also, they are 98% genetically similar to humans and they have the same exact amount of organs that humans
