Listen "The Big Leap: cellular evolution"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how evolution operates at a cellular level? Dr. Biology has a conversation with evolutionary biologist William Ratcliff in an episode that investigates the process of how single-cell mutations can make the leap to coordinated groups of cells and ultimately to complex multicellular organisms. And we are learning all of this from a simple selection experiment involving yeast. Listen in and learn more about this long-running experiment that is giving us an idea of how single cells made the leap to multicell organisms.Visit: Ratcliff LabExperiment: Snowflake yeast kitIf you have not already, please subscribe to the podcast so you can be notified about new episodes.
