multicellular animals

基本解释

If that's true, modern choanoflagellates give us a glimpse of how multicellular animals began.
如果真的是这样，那么，现代领鞭虫就给了我们一个窥探多细胞生物如何形成的机会。
And they found that two proteins—a sodium channel and part of a sodium pump—arose slightly before the first multicellular animals.
科学家们发现了两种重要的蛋白质-钠离子通道和部分钠离子泵-在首次多细胞生命体出现之前就已经简单的发展起来了。
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.
基因从一种有机体横向转移到另一有机体的现象是少见的，尤其是在多细胞生物之间更是如此，他说，但这也可能是湖鲟生物进化进程的一个组成部分。

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.
