Hello!
Which of the following are characteristics of all animals?
A.multicellular, haploid cells that divide by mitosis, organisms with organ systems
B.multistage zygote development, vertebrates, reproduce sexually
C.99 percent invertebrates, heterotrophs, multicellular
D.both a and c.
I'm sure about C, but would D work?
all animals are not haploid.
To determine if option D is correct, we need to analyze its components. Let's break down the characteristics mentioned in D:
- a) multicellular, haploid cells that divide by mitosis, organisms with organ systems
- c) 99 percent invertebrates, heterotrophs, multicellular
Comparing the characteristics, we can see that options a and c share the common trait of being multicellular. However, the other characteristics mentioned in options a and c are different, and there is no overlap between them. Therefore, we cannot say that both a and c are characteristics of all animals.
Taking that into account, we can conclude that option D is not correct. The most accurate answer to the question "Which of the following are characteristics of all animals?" would be option C, which includes characteristics that apply to all animals: being multicellular, consisting of 99 percent invertebrates, and being heterotrophs.
