They have more genes, allowing for more diversity in size, shape, mobility, and specialized functions Scientists examined the important question how eukaryotic cells evolved and have come up with some theories supported by evidence Endosymbiotic Theory Theory states that eukaryotic cells evolved from the symbiotic relationship between two or more prokaryotic cells One prokaryotic cell engulfed a different, simpler prokaryotic cell. The engulfed cell survived and became an internal part of the engulfing cell It is believed that the organelles of eukaryotes are the ancestors of once free-living prokaryotes Chloroplasts and mitochondria present the strongest evidence of endosymbiosis Chloroplasts and Mitochondria After being engulfed, these cells continued to perform their cellular activities while surviving and serving the host cell A comparison of chloroplasts, mitochondria, and prokaryotes shows: Similar membranes Similar Ribosomes Each reproduce by binary fission Each contain circular bacteria Gene sequences match Multicellularity Scientists hypothesize that the first multicellular organisms arose from colonies created by individual cells that divided Genes within these cells contained instructions for some cells to become specialized Homework Read pg 61 to 62 Pg 71 # 1, 4, 8 https://youtu.be/lhF5G2k45vY Watch: https://youtu.be/lhF5G2k45vY https://youtu.be/9i7kAt97XYU Watch: https://youtu.be/9i7kAt97XYU
