The origin of nuclei and of eukaryotic cells
Copyright policy )The origin of nuclei and of eukaryotic cells
A new theory not involving symbiosis is proposed for the origin of eukaryotic cells. It explains how the evolution of phagocytosis by a wall-free blue-green alga would have created selection pressures leading directly to the formation of all characteristic eukaryote organelles and cell properties including mitosis, meiosis and sex.
