The Results Of Endosymbiosis
Did you know that chloroplast was once a free-living cell? Somewhere along the way, it entered into a relationship with a larger cell and ended up losing its freedom. Today, this cell is in a permanent dependent relationship, unable to live on its own and spending all day turning sunlight into sugar for its host. It still retains some genetic material, just enough so that it can make copies of itself during mitosis for the daughter cells. We know, this seems like a sad story, but without this cellular takeover, the world might still be full of prokaryotes! Buy this chloroplast necklace for yourself or for botanists, microbiologists, evolutionary scientists, and organic chemists.
