Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of a class of proteins found in the Caenorhabditis elegans, which has a fewer counterpart in the yeast.
Introduction:
Yeast is a single-celled eukaryotic organism with a genome size of 12.2 Mb (Million base pairs) and it has 6,275 protein-coding genes. Nematode or Caenorhabditis elegans is a multicellular organism with a genome size of 100 Mb and it has 13,918 protein-coding genes.

B)Poriferans have mobile gametes while eumetazoans do not.
C)Poriferans invert during their development whereas eumetazoans do not invert at any time during their life cycle.
D)The various cells types of Poriferans do not form permanent associations into true tissues during their life cycle, whereas Eumetazoa possess true, stable tissues.
E)Poriferans have only one kind of cell during their life cycle whereas Eumetazoa have many kinds of cells throughout their life cycle.
