Document Summary
Review a engulfed b and dna in b moved to a: but could have gone the other way, a engulfs b and dna from a moves to b. Think of eukaryotes as genetic mosaics b/c of genetic mergers. Eukaryote engulfs eukaryote gives rise to secondary chloroplast. The dotted line event has only happened once (cyanobacteria being engulfed) The one involving 2 eukaryotes has happened more than once ~3x. Has chloroplast but does not preform photosynthesis because decided to go down the parasite route got chloroplast from red algae. Drugs devoted to targeting chloroplast genome since this will not affect humans. Like malaria this thing has a chloroplast that also has no use that was from a red alga. Good way to target chloroplasts like above. These are intracellular parasites, type of fungus, unicellular. Losing mitochondrial genome evolutionary ratchet cant really go back to being like a mushroom free living.
