State
Mitochondria, per Bio 0274 and Bio 1821, trace to one primary endosymbiotic event; among protists, that same engulf-and-retain pattern also produced chloroplasts.
Show
A cyanobacterium engulfed by an early eukaryote became the ancestor of chloroplasts in the lineage now called Archaeplastida.
Watch for
This entry extends endosymbiosis to chloroplast origin— it does not reopen the separately unsettled question of the nucleus's origin.
