R_1_16 — Endosymbiotic Theory: Modern Developments in Organelle Evolution

Endosymbiotic theory — the proposition that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated as free-living bacteria that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells and subsequently became obligate intracellular symbionts — is

ZB_2_14 — Photosynthesis Evolution and Diversity

Photosynthesis — the conversion of light energy into chemical energy — is arguably the most important biochemical process on Earth, responsible for virtually all atmospheric oxygen and the primary energy input for nearly

L_3_18 — Horizontal Gene Transfer in Eukaryotes

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) — the movement of genetic material between organisms through mechanisms other than vertical parent-to-offspring inheritance — was long considered a predominantly prokaryotic phenomenon, cen

R_3_02 — Horizontal Gene Transfer in Complex Life

For decades, the "tree of life" was the central metaphor of evolutionary biology — species branching neatly from common ancestors through vertical gene transmission (parent to offspring). This metaphor is now BROKEN, at
