In “Bugs in the Brain”‚ Robert Sapolsky makes the claim that more research is needed in order to gain a greater understanding of how the brain works and more importantly‚ to gain a greater understanding of how certain microorganisms change animals’ behaviors for their own benefits‚ such as reproduction and/or spreading to new hosts. He supports this claim mostly through the use of examples of these types of microorganisms. For example‚ he mentions mites that belong to the genus Anthennophorus‚ which

The plant life cycle is consisted of two parts: the gametophyte phase where it produces gametes by mitosis and the sporophyte phase which produces spores by meiosis 2. Contrast the life cycle of plants to that of animals: Typical life cycle: alteration of generation (plants)‚ diploid (animals) Resulting structure from meiosis: spores-plants‚ gametes-animals Occurrence of mitosis: gamete production-plants‚ zygote to individual-animals 3.

The cells that are made up of a single cell are called unicellular organisms. Amoeba‚ Chlamydomonas‚ Paramoecium and bacteria are examples of unicellular organisms.{ uni = single} The cells that are made up of more than thousands of cells are called multicellular organisms. Animal and plants are examples of multicellular organisms
