Question

1. what are the main characteristics of animals? select all that apply.

□ motile
□ asexual reproduction
□ symmetry
□ heterotropha

Explanation:

• Motile: Most animals are capable of movement (motile) at some stage of their life cycle, so this is a characteristic.
• Asexual reproduction: While some animals can reproduce asexually, the primary mode of reproduction for most animals is sexual reproduction, so asexual reproduction is not a main characteristic of all animals.
• Symmetry: Many animals exhibit some form of symmetry (like radial or bilateral symmetry), so this is a characteristic.
• Heterotrophs: Animals are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain food by consuming other organisms, so this is a characteristic.

Answer:

• motile
• symmetry
• heterotrophs
