It can be easily grown in the lab in a relatively small space.
Development is rapid.

The free-swimming morphologically distinct swarmer cell progresses to an anchored stalked cell, the only cell type capable of genome replication and cell division. Cell division of the stalked cell splits out a swarmer daughter cell.

Like the allantois, it arises from the splanchnopleure (endoderm and splanchnic mesoderm) to surround the mass of yolk in reptile and bird eggs. It is connected to the midgut by the yolk stalk.
