What characteristic distinguishes true multicellularity from colonies of cells?

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Which of the following includes organisms with uni cellular, colonial, as well as multicellular organization. So let's recall about what we've learned about the different types of organisms and figure out which one and the answer choice best represents what we're looking for. So right off the bat, we're looking for something unique cellular as well as multicellular. So when we think of an organism that can be both uni cellular and multicellular, we know it cannot be answer choice A or C. Because A and C. Are only multicellular. They cannot be uni cellular. And then also looking at answer choice B. We know is incorrect because B can never be multicellular, so it's never multicellular. And so that leaves answer choice D as the only viable option and the correct answer. Because protests can be both uni as well as multicellular, making it the correct answer.
