The Endosymbiotic theory of Lynn Margulis.
The theory of endosymbiosis which believes that nuclear membranes and organelles such as the mitochondrian have evolved from a semi"mutation" in which a prokaryotic cell was engulfed by a eukaryotic cell and instead of being digested it survived and has evolved into key features of the eukaryotic cell. Evidence for this is the fact that the mitochondrian have their own ribosomes ( of which are the prokaryotic variety) and their own DNA which allow them to make their own proteins that can be used in synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
The mitochondria and the chloroplast provide evidence that eukaryotic cells may have evolved from prokaryotic cells.
the ability to absorb other cells gave some prokaryotes a survival advantage ~*apexx*~
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have prokaryote-like features. For example, although most of the DNA in eukaryotic cells resides in the nucleus, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have DNA molecules in their inner compartments. Mitochondrial and chloroplastic ribosomes are similar to the ribosomes of prokaryotes. The endosymbiont theory proposes that eukaryotic organisms evolved from prokaryotic ancestors; this idea supports the notion that organelles evolved from prokaryotic organisms that originally lived inside larger cells, eventually losing the ability to function as autonomous organisms
The Endosymbiotic theory of Lynn Margulis.
It is believed that cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, evolved into the eukaryote chloroplast through a process called endosymbiosis. This process involved a cyanobacterium being engulfed by a eukaryotic cell and forming a symbiotic relationship, eventually leading to the development of the chloroplast organelle found in plant and algal cells.
The endosymbiosis theory proposes that eukaryotic cells evolved from symbiotic relationships between different prokaryotic organisms. It suggests that organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts were once independent prokaryotes that were engulfed by a host cell, eventually forming a mutually beneficial relationship.

Mitochondria were evolved from bacteria.This is explained by endosymbiotic theory.
The Kingdom Protista was thought to be evolved 1.5 billion years ago through endosymbiosis. The Kingdom Protista contains life-forms similar to those that gave rise to the three kingdoms of multicellular organisms-fungi, plants, and animals.

This is an accident of how the first eukaryotic plant cells evolved to be different from other eukaryotic cells billions of years ago. It is what defines eukaryotic plants.
