Overview of Animals — Quiz

Question 4 • TPS EdX Biology

A scientist is studying an organism and has classified it as an animal. Which statement must be true about the organism?

Answer
A
It has a backbone.
B
It displays radial symmetry.
C
It is multicellular.
D
It contains cells without nuclei.

Explanation

Animals are multicellular organisms, so an organism classified as an animal must be made of more than one cell. It does not have to have a backbone, since many animals are invertebrates, and animals have cells with nuclei rather than cells without nuclei. Radial symmetry is found in some animals, but not all.
