Advantages of multicellularity
eliminates 'cheaters', suppresses genetic conflict and reduces predation risk
1 of 12
Cheater cells
exploit cells that form the other parts of the organism
2 of 12
Colonies
almost immune to predation, stable even after predator is removed.
3 of 12
Specialised cells
lead to a division of labour between different cells
4 of 12
Colony formation
cells stick together, identical cells
5 of 12
True metazoan
selective cell adhesion, cells have different properties, composed of genetically identical cells
6 of 12
Single-celled organisms
must be able to reproduce and carry out all functions for survival
7 of 12
Development involves
co-ordinated patterns of cell division, specialisation into different cell types and ordered assembly of specialised cells into tissues and organs
8 of 12
Volvoceans
organised colonies of cells, each of which resembles the unicellular protist Chlamydomonas
9 of 12
Gonium
not a true multicellular organism as all cells are identical
10 of 12
Volvox
true division of labour, true multicellular organism
11 of 12
Choanoflagellates
unicellular protists that form colonies during part of their life cycle
