Why do multicellular organisms have emergent properties?
|
|
They have more genes than unicellular organisms.
|
|
|
Properties of unicellular organisms are enhanced by having many cells.
|
|
|
All of their genes are expressed whereas unicellular organisms express only some.
|
|
|
They show properties that can only result from the interaction of many cells.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why do multicellular organisms have emergent properties? They have more genes than unicellular organisms. Properties of unicellular organisms are enhanced by having many cells. All of their genes are expressed whereas unicellular organisms express only some.
Detailed explanation-2: -The glycolysis pathway is an emergent property that functions because many enzymes have formed a biochemical pathway in single cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Emergent Properties at the Population Level The characteristics that emerge in a population depend upon the species’ genetics and its environment. The ability to communicate and work together for the survival of the species is an emergent property of populations.
