Scientists are conducting a long-term experiment on evolution in the lab, to investigate how single-celled organisms could evolve into multicellular lifeforms. After thousands of generations, their yeast grew 20,000 times bigger and 10,000 times tougher.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Yeast, Evolution, Cells, Georgia Tech, Life, Micro-organisms
