Question
How is the structure of a unicellular organism different than the structure of a multicellular organism? How does this affect function?
Solution
VerifiedSince unicellular organisms or prokaryotes lack a nucleus, their cell division is different from eukaryotes. Prokaryotes divide by simply separating the contents of their cell into two parts. Each part contains the same identical copy of the original cell. This type of asexual division is called binary fission.
On the other hand, multicellular organisms or eukaryotes have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. In this case, these organisms reproduce sexually to create copies of their DNA. They undergo the processes of mitosis and meiosis.
