The oldest fossils of multicellular organism are from tiny algae that lived about 1.5 billions years ago. By 600 million years ago the first multicellular animals-jellyfish-like organisms -had evolved.

What do scientists most likely consider as important evidence when classifying an unknown organism?
Scientists most likely consider KNOWN characteristics of KNOWN and named organisms when first classifying an unknown organism. They look for similarities and differences between what is known versus unknown. Major differences exclude known categories; strong similarities include the new organism into a known category. This is how scientists continually build a "family tree" of every organism.
The archaebacteria were probably the first what?
they were probably the first multicelluar life- forms
How long ago did multicellular life forms appear in the fossil record?
According to the fossil record, multicellular life forms first appeared about 570 million years ago. This means multicellular organisms appeared almost 3 billion years after the first evidence of life.
Where do the scientists first find a mysterious monolith in 2001 A Space Odyssey?
The Moon
When parent plants are crossed how do scientists refer to the first generation of offspring?
F1
When did the first multicellular organism appear?
Multicellular organisms first appeared during the Vendian period.
Why would scientists be excited about discovering single-celled organisms?
Scientists would be excited as it would be the first time they had seen a unicellular organism. Secondly, there is no division of labour in unicellular organism. A single cell has to obtain and secrete food. All such features are not present in multicellular organism.
Which type of organism-unicellular or multicellular-evolved first?
unicellular
What group of protists did the first plants evolve from?
Scientists thing protists evolved from archaea, which are simply single celled organisms.
What do scientists believe was the first piece of living organism on earth?
bacteria
From what did the first plant evolve?
The First Plants evolved From Blue-Green Algae
What is a multicellular organism that carries a specific genetic change in each cell because of an intervention at the fertilized egg stage?
A multicellular organism that carries a specific genetic change in each cell because of an intervention at the fertilized egg stage is known as a transgenic. The first documented transgenic animals were mice.
Who were the first terrestrial multicellular organism?
Still in debate, so no correct answer for this question now. Could be certain bacteria which incorporated other bacteria into their own cells (leading explaination to eukaryotic evolution and mitochondria), in an evolutionary goal to be more efficient.
Did unicellular or multicellular organisms evolve first?
Unicellular organisms evolved first; and from them evolved the multicellular organisms. But that leads onto another question as to why multicellular organisms evolved.
Why are protest not placed in the animal plant and fungi kingdom?
because protest are unicellular and have nothing in common with these kingdoms and these have evolved over time to create the first multicellular organism
When did Multicellular organisms first appeared?
Multicellular organisms first appeared during the Vendian period.
