Rise of the Eukaryotes
| Origin of the Eukaryotes | Evolved ~1.8 billion years ago. |
| Endosymbiosis theory | - Proposed by Lynn Margulis. - Mitochondria & chloroplasts were free-living bacteria engulfed by larger cell. |
| Evidence of endosymbiosis theory | - Own DNA - Double membrane - Ribosomes similar to bacteria - Divide by binary fission |
| Double membrane purpose: | Protection and evidence of engulfing |
| Internal Membrane System | Inward folding formed: - Nucleus - Golgi - Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Multicellularity | Advantages: - Specialization - Larger size - Longer lifespan - New genes arise from mutation, duplication, and HGT. |
| Gametes | More important because sexual reproduction increases variation. |
| Volvox Evolution | - Evolved from Chlamydomonas. - Shows transition from single cell to multicellular colony. |
| CCD Domain | Cell cycle control domain; regulates replication and cell differentiation. |
