Question

Which of the following is NOT true about the evolution of multicellularity?

Question 9 options:

Multicellularity arose in the common ancestor of animals and fungi

Multicellularity likely enabled early aquatic species to escape predation.

Multicellularity likely arose in a similar way but involving different genes in an ancestor of plants, and an ancestor of animals

In the common ancestor of the land plants and charophytes, multicellularity likely arose when a cell wall gene developed a "sticky" function

Multicellularity enabled the evolution of specialized cells.

Explanation / Answer

2)Multicellularity likely enabled early aquatic species to escape predation.               TRUE

Increased organismal size is escape from microscopic predators such as ciliates and rotifers that are limited by prey size.

Because though plants and animals have common ancestors it does not involve different genes in an ancestor.

The evolution of multicellularity allowed for specialization of cellular function and the appearance of cells dedicated to the detection of chemical cues.
