The Genetics of Fitness Reorganization During the Transition to Multicellularity: The Volvocine regA-Like Family as a Model

2023-02-20

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary transition from single-celled to multicellular individuality requires organismal fitness to shift from the cell-level to the cell group. This reorganization of fitness occurs by allocating the two components of fitness, survival and reproduction, between two specialized cell types in the multicellular group – soma and germ, respectively. How does the genetic basis for such fitness reorganization e...
