Summary Introduction
To enlist:
A logical sequence of events that starts with an early prokaryote and ends with modern multicellular eukaryotes.
Concept introduction:
The origin of life on Earth was not possible until the advent of favorable conditions on Earth. The Earth and other planets formed around 4.6 billion years ago. The Earth was a red hot ball at that time and it cooled down to form crust around

Describe the hypothesized steps in the origin of eukaryotic cells.
Briefly explain how the eukaryotic cell could have evolved fromprokaryotic ones.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain some DNA, which more closely resembles prokaryotic DNA than (eukaryotic) nuclear DNA. Use this information to suggest how eukaryotes may have originated.
