Phylogenies based on sequences from organellar genomes and nuclear genomes from the same group of species yield
phylogenetic trees with different branching patterns. How is this possible?
O Endosymbiosis makes this possible. The genome of the chloroplast is more closely related to members of the
group in which it originally evolved, whereas the nuclear genome of the engulfing organism has its own
evolutionary trajectory.
Nuclear and organellar genes evolved at different rates, obscuring evolutionary relationships.
Endosymbiosis makes this possible. Transfer of genetic material from the genome of the endosymbiont to the host
results in two different phylogenies, host and endosymbiont. The host genome continues to accumulate mutations,
but the endosymbiont genome cannot.
For organelles like chloroplasts, no mutations can occur, or photosynthesis would stop and the organism would die.
The nuclear genome can accumulate mutations, so it can continue to evolve.
