Students have asked these similar questions
Assume that you discovered Caenorhabditis elegans that crawl significantly slower than others. How would you determine whether this behavior was due to an injury from the environment or to an inherited trait? A goal of using animal models is to explain the molecular detail of specific behaviors encoded in the human brain. How would you compare the developmental biology experiments on memory and learning using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as evidence about the evolution of a human behavior?
Thinking Analytically
Do you think there are more species of animals on land or in the ocean? What about absolute numbers of animals—are there more animals on land or in the ocean?
How humans learn and remember things is still one of the major unsolvedbiological mysteries. Much of what is currently understood about learning andmemory and the biological basis of behaviour comes from the study ofinvertebrates, including the gastropod molluscs. Describe the types ofexperiments that have been performed on gastropods and the extent to whicheach has increased our understanding of how animals learn.

- 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…arrow_forwardComparing across animals in the image, do you think there is a major difference in animals' abilities to regulate unconscious functions like heart rate and breathing rate?
