Discussion Questions
- How does the actual size of the unicellular organisms you are looking at compare with that of a familiar object?
- What do these unicellular organisms have in common? How do they differ from one another?
- What characteristics do these unicellular organisms share with multicellular organisms such as insects, birds, squirrels, and humans?
- How do unicellular organisms get their nourishment? How do they get water? How do they get oxygen? How do they get rid of wastes?

Discussion Questions
- The average hammer orchid blooms before the first female Thynnid wasps emerge--timing that provides them with the undivided attention of the males. How do you think just precise timing could have evolved?
- What other organisms can you think of that help pollinate plants? How does the structure of the flowers these creatures visit improve the chances of pollination? Likewise, how does the structure and behavior of the pollinator increase the likelihood of pollination?

- Discuss how Vrijenhoek's data support the notion that genetic diversity is an advantage in the ongoing "arms race" with parasites.
- Explain how sexual reproduction generates more genetic diversity in a population than asexual reproduction in at least two ways
