2. leuconoids.
3. syconoids.
4. archeocytes.

1. Metazoa arose from a colonial flagellates form similar to Volvox which became
independent and specialized.
2. Metazoans are derived from many separate lineages of unicellular organisms.

, Assignment 1: Semester 2/2020

Question 1
An example of tissue-organ grade of organization is
1. a flatworm.
2. a jellyfish.
3. a colonial protozoan, such as Volvox.
4. a sponge.
5. None of the choices are correct.

Question 2
Fossils show that horse evolution began with a dog-sized ancestor, the lineage of
which produced the modern large horse. This demonstrates
