Division of labor is not seen in which of these multicellular animals?

Correct answer: D. A and B

  • A. Hydra
  • B. Euplectella
  • C. Blood fluke
  • D. A and B

Explanation

Hydra and Euplectella do not show division of labor because they have a very simple body organization. Hydra has only tissue-level organization, so most of its cells perform more than one function instead of being specialized. Euplectella (a sponge) shows only cellular-level organization and lacks true tissues and organs, therefore division of labor is absent. In contrast, the blood fluke shows division of labor as it has an organ-system level of organization with specialized organs performing specific functions.So D is the correct option.
