Statistical Significance Between Unicellular Yeast
and Multicellular Yeast as Prey for Paramecium
A Laboratory Report
This laboratory report explores how unicellular yeast and multicellular yeast have evolved over time. It hypothesizes that paramecium would have preference for unicellular yeast because of their small size. However, the statistical significance identified between unicellular yeast and multicellular yeast promote further investigation to their evolutionary survival traits.

-
Audience: Biologists and biology students seeking to understand the evolutionary trait of multicellularity
-
Success: As stated in the report, statistical significance between multicellular yeast and unicellular yeast exist. This finding proves that there is a relevant relationship between the two as prey. This report demonstrates the need to understand why this significance exists.
