Biology

Assignment:
Using the paper as a guide, discuss the importance of this study relative to our discussions of endosymbiotic theory during class. We briefly discussed the Chlorarachniophyta in class; how are the chlorarachniophytes pertinent/important to the discussion of plastid acquisition?

This should be a written essay, 500-1000 words in length. Thoroughly read the paper (you may need to read it more than once) and think about your response before beginning the project. Feel free to do additional research to augment your discussion. I am leaving the assignment fairly vague to give you freedom to explore the topic.

I am not interested in 10 page papers—think three c’s, clear, concise, complete! Eighty percent of your grade will be based on the quality and thoughtfulness of your discussion. The other 20% will be based on the quality of your writing and on proper citations. Remember, we are using CSE, not MLA or any other format.
