Q

Describe the cells (function wise) in unicellular organisms and multicellular organisms.

A
  • unicellular = all activities occur in one cell

- multicellular = cells are interdependent and some become specialized for different functions

Q

Describe the diplontic life cycle of a starfish?

A

1) a diploid female starfish goes through meiosis to produce haploid gamete cells (egg)
2) sperm from another starfish fertilizes the egg which forms a diploid zygote
2) the zygote goes through embryogenic stages
3) it becomes a larva or juvenile
4) via metamorphosis, it becomes an adult starfish
