Debating the Origins of Eukaryotic Flagella
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
This 4 page paper provides an overview of the current literature on this topic. Current scientific research still shows a significant debate over the origins of eukaryotic flagella. Lynn Margulis first proposed endosymbiont theory in an effort to settle the debate on the origins of structures, including eukaryotic flagella. Her theory and the use of 16s rRNA analysis provided a basis for relating the origins of both mitochondria and chloroplasts, yet does not completely resolve arguments over the origins of the eukaryotic flagella. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
