Solution Steps

Step 1: Multicellularity

The first step in animal evolution from a single-celled ancestor is the development of multicellularity (D). This occurs at point 2 on the diagram.

Step 2: Tissues: 2 germ layers

After becoming multicellular, animals developed distinct tissue layers derived from two germ layers (G). This occurs at point 4.

Step 3: Radial Symmetry

The next step illustrated is the development of radial symmetry (A) at point 5.

Final Answer:

  1. D. Multicellularity
  2. G. Tissues: 2 germ layers
  3. A. Radial symmetry
