Earlier biologists consider the symbiotic origin of eukaryotic organelles a radical idea because it was against the traditional evolution theory and there was little evidence about it.

What is the symbiotic origin of eukaryotic organelles?

Eukaryotic organisms differ from prokaryotic ones due to specialized structures known as organelles.

The symbiotic origin of organelles suggests these structures first emerged when one smaller prokaryotic cell was ingested by a bigger one and over time the ingested cell.

Why was this theory controversial?

There are two main reasons why this theory was controversial.

  • It was against the traditional evolution theory: In evolution one organism slowly changes through multiple generations to give origin to new organisms, which did not occur in the case of eukaryotic cells.
  • There was little evidence about it: This theory was first proposed as an idea but there was no evidence about it. Because of this, it seemed to be a very inaccurate and crazy theory.
