The word "endosymbiotic" in example sentences

What's interesting about this study is that it challenges a widely held hypothesis that Eucarya arose out of the fusion of a bacterium with an archaeon (also known as the endosymbiotic origin of the nucleus, not to be confused with the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts). ❋ Unknown (2006)

"We figure it's some kind of endosymbiotic infection." ❋ Unknown (1999)

Then, following the endosymbiotic origin of eukaryotes, it remained unicelluar for another half billion years. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Someone like, Lynn Margulis, a distinguished member of the National Academy of Science and one of the early developers of the endosymbiotic theory for the evolution of eukaryotic cells. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Should we dismiss her work on the endosymbiotic theory because of her other views? ❋ Unknown (2010)

The endosymbiotic theory for the origin of mitochondria claims that our mitochondria were derived from an engulfed bacterium that was enslaved to become the current powerhouse of most eukaryotic cells. ❋ Unknown (2007)

There are alternative explanations for the origin of mitochondria that can compete with the endosymbiotic theory and that are in line with the phylogenetic data. ❋ Unknown (2007)

My objection to the endosymbiotic theory is similar to my objection to abiogenesis. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The extensive gene transfer that is needed in the endosymbiotic theory would wreak havoc in a complex genome since frequent insertion of random pieces of mitochondrial DNA would disrupt existing functions. ❋ Unknown (2007)

First, it is necessary to have a reasonably detailed mechanism that explains the basic steps in the endosymbiotic scenario. ❋ Unknown (2007)

If these criteria are not met, the endosymbiotic theory cannot be considered to be a scientific fact that has been proven beyond reasonable doubt. ❋ Unknown (2007)

When we do try to envision a mechanistic scenario based on the endosymbiotic theory, we quickly run into problems. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Remarkably, the endosymbiotic theory fails all points. ❋ Unknown (2007)

I argue that the mechanistic basis of the endosymbiotic theory is not sound and even contradictive to our current concepts of evolution. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Margulis is best known for endosymbiotic theory (which proposes that mitochondria in animal cells and chloroplasts in plant cells are derived from bacteria that were engulfed and formed a symbiotic relationship with other cells) and the Gaia hypothesis. ❋ Peggy (2007)

Thus, as long as we do not have a clear picture of the last common ancestor and its relationship with eukaryotes, it will be difficult to interpret gene similarity as evidence for the endosymbiotic theory. ❋ Unknown (2007)

It is also claimed that phylogenetic evidence firmly supports the endosymbiotic theory, for instance by showing relatedness between mitochondria and specific groups of bacteria. ❋ Unknown (2007)

They do have a reduced genome, probably the reason why they are obligate endosymbionts in the first place, but you can only call the genome of mitochondria reduced if you accept the endosymbiotic theory. ❋ Unknown (2007)
