I have yet to see an explanation that makes as much sense given the nature of mitochondria/chloroplasts and bacteria themselves. |
I believe in Evolution... so just playing devils advocate but...
What about helpful DNA Damage?
Rather then like with humans where it is negative... the DNA damage actually helped those parts of the bacteria... and as such the DNA damage was helpful?
After all Cancer Cells are genetically different from other cells. If we were born with cancer one could come to the same conclusion you did?
Additionally there are people with two types of DNA.
Some are due to inheriting their wayward twins DNA and others happen due to errors in replication.
It could of just been the cause of a replication error.
