The fly D.melanogaster is generally thought to be _______ complex than the nematode C.elegans because the fly _______.
A) more;has to produce many more metabolites for defense
B) more;undergoes more complex developmental transformations
C) more;has membrane-enclosed organelles
D) less;lacks membrane-enclosed organelles
E) less;undergoes less complex developmental transformations

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that the fly undergoes more complex developmental transformations is true, as it has a more intricate process of metamorphosis compared to C. elegans, which undergoes a simpler transformation from larva to adult. While the production of metabolites and the presence of membrane-enclosed organelles are factors in complexity, they are not directly related to the question of which organism is more complex.
