Q

Discuss the evidence of the evolution of multicellularity

A

Choanoflagellates are protist, some are unicellular and some form multicellular colonies, in which cells specialized to perform dif. functions. also choanoflagellate cells are similar to the collar cells of sponges, some of the collar cells have been found in flatworms and other animals.
