Animal Development Compares to Plant Development in That

Question

Animal development compares to plant development in that
A) plant cells, but not animal cells, migrate during morphogenesis.
B) animal cells, but not plant cells, migrate during morphogenesis.
C) plant cells and animal cells migrate extensively during morphogenesis.
D) neither plant cells nor animal cells migrate during morphogenesis.
E) plant cells, but not animal cells, undergo convergent extension.

Accepted Answer

Animal cells, but not plant cells, migrate during morphogenesis. This is a key difference in how animals and plants develop their forms. Animal development often involves extensive cell movement to form different tissues and organs, whereas plant cells typically divide in place and differentiate without migrating.
