Which best explains what this reveals regarding the evolution of multicellular bodies in animals? A) All of the genetic machinery and all of the body building materials (or similar precursors) evolved only after the appearance of multicellular bodies. B) The genetic machinery and some of the same body building materials (or similar precursors) are present in single-celled organisms, thus natural selection could use these for the evolution of multicellular bodies.
