You can identify these.

14. FROM 1 to 100 “WORMS”
The “worm”, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), is a
nematode commonly used for genetic research because
it is simple, has a short life-span (reproduces quickly),
and is easy to cultivate.
This nematode “worm” is about the
size of a comma in your textbook: 1 mm.
15. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, TOO!
• HOW MANY CELLS DO WE HUMANS HAVE?
• WHAT HAPPENS IF MITOSIS DOESN’T STOP?
• WHY DO ADULTS STOP
