Chlorarachniophyte and cryptophyte algae contain three sets of genetic material: the nuclear genome, the chloroplast genome, and a set of genes found in the nucleomorph. What, in terms of the endosymbiotic hypothesis, is represented by the nucleomorph genes?

Question 6 options:

genes that migrated from the host's nucleus into the symbiont

genes introduced by viral infection and transduction

genes that migrated from the chloroplast into the host's genome remnant

genes from the nucleus of a eukaryotic algal endosymbiont

genes from the nucleus of a eukaryotic algal endosymbiont

Explanation:

Given: Chlorarachniophyte and cryptophyte algae contain three sets of genetic material: the nuclear genome, the chloroplast genome, and a set of genes found in the nucleomorph.

Here, nucleomorph genes represent genes from the nucleus of a eukaryotic algal endosymbiont

Secondary endosymbiotic acquisition of photosynthesis results in the transitional forms - Cryptophyte and chlorarachniophyte algae.

the correct answer should be false

{apex}

b. lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere   is the answer most likely
