Answer:

The answer is TRUE. Most cnidarians have two layers of cells that are organized into tissues: Epidermis and Gastrodermis.

Explanation:

Cnidarians' basic body organization is simple: It is a hollow structure composed of two cellular layers:

epidermis, which is the external layer,
gastrodermis which is the internal layer, composed by lining cells in the gastrovascular cavity.

Between these two there is the mesoglea that varies from a thin, non-cellular membrane to a mucous, fibrous, thick membrane with amebocytes.

Epidermis and gastrodermis originate from two embryonic tissues, the ectoderm, and the endoderm.

The epidermis is formed of five types of cells with different functions: epitheliomuscular, interstitial, cnidoblasts, secretors, and sensorial.

The gastrodermis is composed of nutritive cells, glandular enzymatic cells, secretory cells, and sensorial cells.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.

Answer:

The two major phases of the cell cycle include mitosis (cell division), and interphase, when the cell grows and performs all of its normal functions. Interphase is further subdivided into G1, S, and G2 phases. After the synthesis phase, the cell proceeds through the G2 phase.
