Concept explainers

Tissue renewal

In multicellular organisms, tissue is a level of structure that consists of a group of physically and functionally identical cells and their intercellular substances. Unicellular organisms do not have tissues. Tissues are absent or poorly differentiated even in the simplest multicellular animals, such as sponges. However, more evolved multicellular animals and plants have specialized tissues that may organize and govern an organism's reaction to its surroundings. The word tissue is derived from the Latin word 'weave.' Plants and animals have various kinds of tissue systems that differ in their work and composition according to the different requirements.

2. The purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) and a sympatric species known as the red sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) release their gametes into the Pacific Ocean at the same time, but the sperm cells of each species fail to fertilize the egg cells of the other species due to different membrane proteins. This prevention of interspecific fertilization in sea urchins is: A. a post-zygotic barrier known as F2 hybrid breakdown B. a post-zygotic barrier known as F, hybrid sterility C. a pre-zygotic barrier known as gamete isolation D. a pre-zygotic barrier known as temporal isolation E. a post-zygotic barrier known as Fi hybrid inviability
