A backstage look at becoming
multicellular using cellular slime molds
Unicellular and multicellular organisms differ in the way they leave descendants. Cellular slime mold responds to the environment. There is intercommunication between the two, and it leaves descendants in an efficient manner. They have a number of genes equivalent to those of multicellular organisms. When interaction occurs between unicellular and multicellular organisms, the functioning of the genes is the key to understanding evolution into a multicellular organism.
