Answer:

A. Each organism had a different parent that passed on a set of unique genetic instructions.

Explanation:

Organisms can either be single-celled or multicellular. According to this question, a student collects a sample of water from a pond near her home. She then examines a drop of the water under a microscope and noticed it contains four very differently shaped single-celled organisms.

The single-celled organisms are of different shapes because they are from different parents, which passed on a set of unique genetic instructions via their genes to them. Organisms of the same species from the same parent will possess the same shape because they contain same gene which makes them look and behave similar.

However, in this case, the four different shaped single-celled organisms are of DIFFERENT SPECIES and hence, contain individual unique genes that makes them so

Answer:

The correct answer is fungi.

Explanation:

Fungi are the eukaryotic organism but they can be present in unicellular and multicellular form. They are different from plant, animals, and bacteria. They are heterotrophic organisms and do not conduct photosynthesis. Their cell wall is made up of chitin.

Most of the fungi are saprophytes which means they take their nutrition from the dead and decaying organism. So fungi play an important role in clearing the waste organic material from the environment so they help in bioremediation. All members of fungi comes under a separate kingdom fungi.
