Archaebacteria is probably more likely to be the ancestor of eukaryotes because of certain similarities, such as the ribosome of the two groups being much more similar to each other than the ribosomes of bacteria.

Which organisms represent the common ancestor of all photosynthetic plastids found in eukaryotes?

Cyanobacteria are believed to be the common ancestor of all photosynthetic plastids found in eukaryotes. Through a process called endosymbiosis, cyanobacteria were engulfed by an ancestral eukaryotic cell, giving rise to plastids like chloroplasts. This event played a crucial role in the evolution of photosynthesis in eukaryotes.


Examples of biochemical evidence of evolution?

Physiological similarities suggest the species evolved from the same ancestor.


What eats eukaryotes?

What is the original ancestor that the plant-animal descended from?

Plants and animals share a common ancestor that was likely a unicellular, photosynthetic organism similar to modern-day green algae. This ancestor existed over a billion years ago, during the early evolution of eukaryotes. Through a process called endosymbiosis, some of these organisms developed the ability to perform photosynthesis, leading to the evolution of plants, while others evolved into various animal forms. Thus, the divergence between plants and animals began from this ancient common ancestor.
