Question
read the passage to answer the question.
even though scorpions are related to spiders, there are many differences between the two organisms. one difference is that scorpion young do not hatch from eggs as spiders do. scorpions are born live, two at a time, and they immediately crawl onto the mother’s back for protection and care. they remain there for two weeks as they grow big enough to take care of themselves.
baby scorpions are born with fully developed bodies, each with many special parts such as a stinging tail.
which process enables baby scorpions to develop various kinds of body parts from a single zygote?
cell breakdown
reproduction
meiosis
cell differentiation
Cell differentiation is the process where cells become specialized in structure and function. A single zygote (fertilized egg) undergoes cell differentiation to form various types of cells that make up different body parts like the stinging tail in baby scorpions. Cell breakdown is not relevant to forming body parts. Reproduction is the process of producing offspring, not forming body parts from a zygote. Meiosis is a type of cell division for sexual reproduction (producing gametes), not for developing body parts from a zygote.
