(A-D) Models that propose the origin of a nucleus-bearing but amitochondriate cell first, followed by the acquisition of mitochondria in a eukaryotic host. (E-G) Models that propose the origin of ...

The presence of mitochondria in the eukaryote common ancestor continues to change the way we look at eukaryote origins, with endosymbiosis playing a more central role in considerations on the ...

The new study is a "significant step" forward in filling in the missing data around early eukaryotes, said Laura Katz, a ...

"Protecting the telomeres of your DNA -- every eukaryote has to do it, meaning that a worm has to somehow figure that out. Humans have to figure it out. Yeast has to figure it out. It's a ...

At this time, biological diversity increases greatly, with algae, fungi, animals, and plants diverging from their common eukaryote ancestors. The oldest fossil evidence of multicellular animals ...

We will never know. What we do know, because the report states it, is that “Since terrestrial arthropods as a whole are the great middle bulk of all terrestrial eukaryote food and interaction ...
