- 17) Multicellularity is an important evolutionary innovation in the history of life on Earth. For the following statements, designate which is true (T) and which is false (F). Correct the false. Multicellularity has evolved independently a few times in the history of life. Multicellular members of domain Eukarya arose through the process of endosymbiosis. Multicellular organisms have cells specialized for different functions, with each cell type having a unique genetic sequence. Cell differentiation occurs in unicellular organisms but not in multicellular organisms. Multicellular organisms are absent from the domain Archaea.arrow_forwardExplain two basic cell types appeared during evolutionary history.arrow_forwardYou are examining an organism you believe to be an animal.
