Answer:
The farther down a layer with a fossil in it the farther back in earths history that organism lived.
Explanation:
Cyanobacteria had a role in the evolution of eukaryotic cell, more precisely their organelles. It has been shown that chloroplast, cell organelles found in some eukaryotic lineages, which are specialized in performing the photosynthesis evolved from cyanobacteria through the process called endosymbiosis. In this process, photosynthesizing cyanobacteria was engulfed in some ancient eukaryotic cell. Eukaryotic cells have evolved from the endosymbiotic events.
<span>By producing and releasing O2 (as a byproduct of photosynthesis), cyanobacteria are thought to have converted the early oxygen-poor, reducing atmosphere into an oxidizing one. This caused the Great Oxygenation Event which dramatically changed the Earth's life forms and led to the formation of multicellular organisms.</span>
