Question

Which of the following traits do not help distinguish animals from other forms of life?

• A. The presence of DNA in the cell nucleus
• B. The presence of two types of tissues: nervous tissues for impulse conduction and muscle tissue for movement
• C. Cell walls that have structural support
• D. Both b and c

Hint:

Animals lack cell walls; this feature helps differentiate them from plants and fungi.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Animals are eukaryotic organisms and possess DNA enclosed within a nucleus, which helps distinguish them from prokaryotes.
Step 2: Animals uniquely possess specialized tissues such as nervous tissue for impulse conduction and muscle tissue for movement.
Step 3: Cell walls providing structural support are characteristic of plants, fungi, and some protists, but animals lack cell walls. Hence, cell walls with structural support do not help distinguish animals from other forms of life.
