Unicellular organisms produce new organisms by dividing into two identical cells.

Five Basic Features of Living Things

The five basic features used for identifying living things are: organization, metabolism, responsiveness, growth, and reproduction.

Growth in Multicellular Organisms

Multicellular organisms grow by increasing the number of cells through cell division.

Most Defining Feature of Living Organisms
