Question

What change caused multicellular life to form

Answer 1

There are many theories as to how multi-cellular life formed. The development of multi cellular life has occurred independently at least 46 times. It has been proposed that a minor genetic change in a molecule guanylate kinase protein-interaction domain (GKP-ID) may have allowed life to go from single to multi-cellular. It is also Possible a mutation of the DNA responsible for the mechanism of cell-division lead to the development of multi cellular life.

Answer 2

An ice age caused Earth’s oceans to cool, which killed many of the unicellular organisms. When the ice age ended and Earth warmed, the continents broke apart. This event allowed the shallow seas to cover the continents. The warming of Earth, accompanied by the seas covering the land, created the proper conditions for multicellular organisms to form.
