Chapter 25.2, Problem 3SB
Summary Introduction

To review:

The properties that the earliest proto-cells hypothesized to have in common with modern-day cellular organisms and mention the properties of modern-day cellular organisms that are hypothesized to have been absent in the earliest proto-cells.

Introduction:

The evolution of cell membrane plays a very important role in the adaptation of modern cellular organisms in the varying environment. It keeps useful cellular secretions intact, maintains chemically distinct intracellular components, and provides protection from parasitic attack.

Choanoflagellates have collagen and the same genes coding for cell communication and adhesion that present in multicellular animals with bodies. Which best explains what this reveals regarding the evolution of multicellular bodies in animals?     A) All of the genetic machinery and all of the body building materials (or similar precursors) evolved only after the appearance of multicellular bodies.     B) The genetic machinery and some of the same body building materials (or similar precursors) are present in single-celled organisms, thus natural selection could use these for the evolution of multicellular bodies.     C) That multicellular bodies evolved only once in evolutionary history, and it was within animals because collagen was present, along with the genetic machinery necessary for cell adhesion and communication.     D) None of the above.
Why are embryological features important for distinguishing the major groups of phyla?
Do plants and animals have a common multicellular ancestor?
