Answer:

The correct answer will be- cell division or act like unicellular organism.

Explanation:

The cell maintains its surface area to volume ratio to maintain its size. This ratio determines the basic cellular functions of a cell-like excretion and absorption.

If a cell grows beyond its cell size limit, then it will lead to a decrease in its surface area to volume ratio. This decrease in the ratio will affect the basic functions.  So cell will either modify itself to act like a unicellular organism or it could divide its genetic as well as its cytoplasmic content to form a new cell.

Thus, cell division or act like a unicellular organism is the correct answer.

Pani-rosa [81]

Species strategies to survive and successfully reproduce define three basic survivorship curves. <em>The survivorship curve </em><em>type III</em><em> is the one that best represents the Dandelion plants.</em>

------------------------------

According to the species strategies to survive, reproduce, and ensure their reproductive success, we can mention three basic curves,

<u>Type I.</u>

  • Mortality often occurs at the end of the cycle, representing species with low mortality.

  • Organisms exhibiting this type of survivorship curve have long life cycles and high probabilities to survive until they are old enough.

  • These species have few descendants and spend too much time and energy in parental care to ensure their reproductive success.

<u>Type II.</u>

  • The probabilities of dying are equals all along the cycle, at any age interval.

  • The number of dead individuals remains constant from the beginning to the end of the life cycle.

  • These species have reduced offspring, and they ensure their reproductive success by providing some significant parental care.

<u>Type III.</u>

  • Significant mortality during the early stages of life.

  • Only a few individuals reach the later life stages, getting to survive their first period of life. Survivors usually have a long life.

  • These species produce large offspring at the same time, but they provide little or no parental care.

  • The reproductive success of these species depends on the number of descendants and not on the parenting time spent.

According to this information, and the characteristics of the <em>Dandelions, we might assume that this species is represented by type III curve.</em>
