Animals have distinctive characteristics which distinguish them from members of the other kingdoms. which of the following characteristics might be seen in both a carrot and a pig? a. having cell walls c. being a heterotrophic organism b. having a specialized means of locomotion d. being multicellular

Ans. (d). being multicellular.

Pigs are multicellular, heterotrophic, eukaryotic organisms, belong to kingdom animalia that includes all animals. Animal cells lack cell wall and chloroplasts, and they depend on plants for food. On the other hand, carrot belongs to kingdom plantae, which include multicellular, autotrophic plants.

Plant cells have cell wall, made up of cellulose and chloroplasts that help in the process of photosynthesis. The characteristic similar between both pig and carrot is multicellularity as they both are made of several thousands  of cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

b would be the right answer
