Question

In sponges, totipotent cells (which can develop into other type of cells) are

• A. Chromoeytes
• B. Thesocytes
• C. Archaeocytes
• D. Collenocytes

Answer 1

The correct option is C Archaeocytes

• In sponges, totipotent cells are Archaeocytes because archaeocytes can develop into all of the other types of sponge cells.
• Archaeocytes ingest and digest food caught by the choanocyte collars and transport nutrients to the other cells of the sponge. In some sponges, archaeocytes develop into gametes.
  
• Hence In sponges, totipotent cells (which can develop into another type of cells) are Archaeocytes.
• So, the correct answer is 'Archaeocytes'.
