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.
