Lynn Margulis was a key figure in developing this theory. Margulis's work was at first met with skepticism, but now the endosymbiotic theory is widely accepted in the scientific community. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/uADRPShfHBL3Igww-z-NC6EubTzoXA1SKdFEurK6bgs90tBdxIZQCo7Ou_-hzWvEzk9EH8owOn7ABU0g3UtWdZKalw Endosymbiosis theory Certain characteristics of mitochondria and chloroplasts support the endosymbiotic theory, which posits that eukaryotic cells evolved from simpler prokaryotic cells that merged together.
