Summary Introduction

To determine:

The eukaryotic organisms that are classified as opisthokonts.

Introduction:

The eukaryotes have been evolved from the unicellular organisms in the timeline of evolution. The second phase of evolution has been started when the levels of multicellularity diversify the organisms, into algal species, fungi, plants, and animals. The origination of the multicellular organisms occurs several times along with the differentiation of the cells in the evolution of eukaryotes. The red, green, and brown algae, plants, fungi, and animals have evolved autonomously from the different ancestors, which were unicellular.
