Answer 4

I cannot say that viruses were the first organsims because viruses are not considered as true independent living organisms . Bacteria could be the first, since they are single celled and have very simple structures. They are considered as prokaryotes, meaning they do not have a true nucleus. Second could be eukaryotes, such as protozoans. And according to the endosymbiotic theory, prokasryotes could have joined together to form eukaryotes.

Answer 5

Virus was the first, the fungal spore (eukaryote) was the second.
