Document Summary

Vaucheria is a coenocitic; it has no cell walls. Elysia bites off the vaucheria and steals the chloroplast and puts it inside of its own cells. The plastids (chloroplasts) are functional for like 3 months. Genes that are needed for the chloroplast and mitochondria are in the nucleus from vaucheria. Elysia doesn"t have these genes but the chloroplast remain function for 3 months without the genes from the. It is because some of the genes needed are found in the nucleus while others are found in the organelle. Chloroplast and mitochondria are prokaryotic in their genome structure. The genes that we find inside chloroplast look more like the genes we find in bacteria than the genes we find in the nucleus of vaucheria and humans. Hydrogen bonding, r-chain pairing, etc. aren"t base pairing. Proteins don"t have bases they have amino acids.
