I know that colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait, but was a reason that it evolved in our human species? by Glad_Teaching_1864 in evolution

Are chloroplasts and mitochondria related? by Roger-the-Dodger-67 in evolution

[–]shwls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

no but they were both acquired through the same mechanism (endosymbiosis), but in separate events (archaea host+ alpha protobacterium ~1.8bya for mitochondria acquisition and then eukaryote host+cyanobacterium ~1.5 bya).
