What is the origin of multicellular eukaryotes?
Can you tell me about the origin of multicellular eukaryotes?
Sure! The origin of multicellular eukaryotes is not fully understood, but it is believed to have occurred around 1.5 billion years ago through a process called endosymbiosis. This is when two different single-celled organisms merge and evolve together to create a new organism with specialized functions. Over time, these organisms developed more complex structures and eventually became the multicellular organisms we have today.
