When describing this experiment to your friends, they point out that rotifers are multicellular predators and thus cannot have been responsible for the earliest transition from single cell to multicellularity. Based on what you have learned in this lab and in the paper by Herron et al. 2019, what would be an informed response to this comment include? Select all that apply.
Question 3 options:
It is irrelevant that rotifers are multicellular in our study as some of the predators of small unicellular organisms are themselves unicellular, and predation, whether by a unicellular or multicellular organism, was all that was needed.
Multicellularity evolved many times. While multicellular predators cannot have been responsible for the earliest transition from unicellular to multicellularity, they may have played a role in some of the later transitions which occurred after the evolution of animals.
Using a multicellular predator is…

- Your colleague is studying a newly discovered organism. She is becoming increasingly convinced that the organism is an arthropod. You find that you must respectfully disagree when you note that the organism has a set of distinctly non-arthropod characteristics. The features that cause you to exclude the organism from the arthropod grouping are antennae, six legs, and mandibles. pseudocoel, closed circulatory system, and ventral heart. Malpighian tubules, ommatidia, and tagmata. jointed legs, ecdysis, and an exoskeleton. compound eyes, book lungs, and a hemocoel.arrow_forwardInsects display an incredible diversity of body forms and ecological roles. Some insects undergo complete metamorphosis, a lifecycle involving distinct larval, pupal, and adult stages. How might this lifecycle contribute to the success and diversity of these insects? It allows the larval and adult stages to exploit different resources or habitats. It allows the insects to reproduce more rapidly. It provides a defense against predators. It allows the insects to migrate long distances.arrow_forwardTest Your Understanding 12 VISUALIZE Label the diagram.arrow_forward
- Please help to answer with explanation: Cnidaria (jelly fish) have neuromuscular (nerve net) cells in their ectoderm. These cells are important in evolution because they represent cells specializing to become a) the lungs, b) the cells forming a specialized tissue. c) the first tissue to perform photosynthesis d) tall are true, e) none are true.arrow_forward“Animal personality” has been defined as consistent differences between individuals that persist over time. Briffa & Greenaway (2011) studied wild beadlet anemones (Actinia equina) to see whether they display ‘personalities’. They disturbed individual anemones with a jet of water (which causes their tentacles to retract) then recorded how long it took each anemone to reopen (seconds). The experiment was then repeated two weeks later to see whether individual anemones showed consistent reopening times (consistency indicates they have ‘personalities). a)Sketch an appropriate graph to show whether any association exists between the day 1 and day 14 anemone responses. What kind of graph is it? b)Is a strong association present? (i.e., do anemone’s have ‘personalities’?)
