all animals start as a
choanoflagellate
salpingoeca rosetta
eggs
zygote
Choanoflagellates are single-celled protists that are the closest living relatives of animals, representing the common ancestor lineage. Salpingoeca rosetta is a specific species of choanoflagellate, not a general starting point for all animals. Eggs are gametes, but not all animals start as eggs (e.g., males start from sperm, and fertilization forms a zygote). The zygote is the diploid cell formed by fertilization of gametes, which develops into an embryo, but the question refers to the evolutionary/ancestral starting point, which is choanoflagellate.
