Question
CBSEENSC10012375

Why cannot all multicellular organisms divide cell-by-cell like Spirogyra?

Solution
The higher multicellular organisms have differentiation of structure and function and are not just a mere collection of cells. Their cells are organised into specialised structures , thus in such a carefully organised situation cell by cell division would be impossible.  Unlike Spirogyra in which all the cells are similar and independent unit.
