multicellular animals

基本解释

If that's true, modern choanoflagellates give us a glimpse of how multicellular animals began.
如果真的是這樣，那麽，現代領鞭蟲就給了我們一個窺探多細胞生物如何形成的機會。
And they found that two proteins—a sodium channel and part of a sodium pump—arose slightly before the first multicellular animals.
科學家們發現了兩種重要的蛋白質-鈉離子通道和部分鈉離子泵-在首次多細胞生命躰出現之前就已經簡單的發展起來了。
Lateral gene transfer from one organism to another is rare, especially in multicellular animals, he said, but could be part of some evolutionary process for the sturgeon.
基因從一種有機躰橫曏轉移到另一有機躰的現象是少見的，尤其是在多細胞生物之間更是如此，他說，但這也可能是湖鱘生物進化進程的一個組成部分。

What genetic change allowed multicellular animals to come into existence remains obscure.
ECONOMIST: How to become multicellular
Much of the difference between the single-celled fungus and the two multicellular animals is accounted for by those genes and proteins that make multicellularity possible.
ECONOMIST: Genomics
Nicholas Strausfeld, the study's author, highlights that no one was expecting to find a brain as advanced as this so early in the history of multicellular animals.
