If true,which of the following would be most important in determining whether P.chromatophora's cyanelle is still an endosymbiont or is an organelle,as the term cyanelle implies?
A)if P.chromatophora is less fit without its cyanelle than with it
B)if the cyanelle is less fit without the host cercozoan than with it
C)if there is ongoing metabolic cooperation between the cyanelle and the host cercozoan
D)if there has been movement of genes from the cyanelle genome to the nuclear genome,such that these genes are no longer present in the cyanelle genome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of genes from the cyanelle genome to the nuclear genome, resulting in those genes no longer being present in the cyanelle genome, is a key indicator of the transition from an endosymbiotic relationship to an organelle status, as it shows integration and dependency at the genetic level.
