According to the endosymbiosis theory, which gained acceptance around the 1970s, the mitochondrion, as a major energy producer in the cell, was previously a free-living prokaryote that invaded a eukaryotic cell. Under this theory, symbiotic organelles gradually transferred their genes to the eukaryotic genome, ... | 2.921875 | 0 |
8564084 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear%20mitochondrial%20DNA%20segment | Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment | The possible presence of organelle DNA inside the nuclear genome was suggested after discovering homologous structures to the mitochondrial DNA in the nucleus, which was shortly after the discovery of independent DNA within the organelles in 1967.
