Final answer:

Early cells with improved motility had a fitness advantage due to increased reproduction, longer lifespan, and better nutrient utilization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Early cells with improved motility had a fitness advantage because they were able to:

  1. Produce more offspring
  2. Live longer
  3. Utilize nutrients more efficiently

These factors contributed to their survival and reproductive success, leading to the increase in the population of cells with enhanced motility. This allowed them to better adapt to their environment and compete for resources.
