Document Summary
The event of a host cell engul ng a cynobatcerium only happened once. The event of a non-photosynthetic eukaryote engul ng another photosynthetic eukaryote happened at least 3 occasions: plasmodium (malaria) Has a 2 chloroplast and a mitochondria (along with a genome: the chloroplast contains a genome but no longer photosynthetic, came from a red alga, toxoplasma. A parasite, also has a 2 chloroplast contains a genome but is no longer photosynthetic, also came form red alga. Mitochondrial & chloroplast genome loss: how many distinct genomes can an eukaryote have, recall that a genome is a set of genetic instructions within a biological compartment. Nuclear genome = 1 genome microsporidian parasites. Nuclear + mitochondria genome = 2 genomes humans, mammals, jelly sh, mushroom. Nuclear + mitochondria + chloroplast genome = 3 genome algae, land plants. Nuclear + mitochondria + chloroplast + nucleomorph genome = 4 genomes chlorarachniophyte algae. A fungi, related to yeast and mushrooms.
