Document Summary

Mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living (autonomous) Some of the genes from the mitochondrion moved into the nucleus through lateral gene. As well, the genes in the nucleus can undergo recombination, which is favoured. Easier to coordinate and control the genes in the nucleus. Save energy by having just two copies in the nucleus rather than hundreds in the mitochondria and chloroplasts (more energy efficient) Many more opportunities for generating variation in the nucleus. Endosymbiont genomes are greatly diminished the mitochondrial genome has been reduced. They can function as trna, rrna: ex rnas that are needed for local gene expression like the d1 protein. May be hard to transport the protein from outside of the organelle to the inside (no transporter) this would mean that it would have to be made inside. How might organelle genes move to the nucleus. Mitochondrion dies and dna gets inside the nucleus through nuclear pores.
