What characteristic do single and multicellular organisms have in common?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
here are some characteristics of multicellular organisms:
- Increase in size to protect from predators, beyond the limits allowed by the surface area to volume ratio of diffusion.
- Allows differentiation of cells within a population, increasing survival chance via specialisation of individuals within a group to certain tasks.
- Permits increasing complexity, e.g. cellularsignaling cascades and networks which facilitates diversification of specific cellular lineages.
- allows for sexual reproductionwhich can accommodate greater species adaptability to the environment.
