Multiple Choice

Multicellularity offers a variety of advantages to an organism; among the most important is

A) reproductive potential-when separated, each individual cell is capable of independent survival.
B) genetic specialization-each cell can eliminate unnecessary genetic material and produce replicate (backup) copies of essential genetic material.
C) adaptive size-single cells remain constrained by the relationship of surface area to volume, but collectively, the organism can enlarge to the extent that is most advantageous.
D) protective-if partially consumed by predators, the remainder of the organism can replenish the missing cells.
