Target entity: serial endosymbiosis theory
Context triple: [Microcosmos, associatedWithTheory, serial endosymbiosis theory]
  • A. Symbiosis in Cell Evolution
    Symbiosis in Cell Evolution is a landmark scientific book by Lynn Margulis that argues complex eukaryotic cells arose through symbiotic mergers of simpler organisms, helping establish the endosymbiotic theory in evolutionary biology.
  • B. Origin of Eukaryotic Cells
    Origin of Eukaryotic Cells is a landmark scientific book by Lynn Margulis that advanced the endosymbiotic theory explaining how complex eukaryotic cells evolved from symbiotic relationships between simpler prokaryotic organisms.
  • C. “From Metabolism to Symbiosis”
    “From Metabolism to Symbiosis” is a theoretical work by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa that traces his evolution from the Metabolist movement toward a philosophy of architecture based on coexistence and symbiotic relationships.
  • D. Haldane–Oparin hypothesis of the origin of life
    The Haldane–Oparin hypothesis of the origin of life proposes that life first arose through a gradual chemical evolution of organic molecules in Earth’s early “primordial soup,” eventually leading to self-replicating systems.
  • E. Microcosmos: Four Billion Years of Microbial Evolution
    Microcosmos: Four Billion Years of Microbial Evolution is a popular science book by Lynn Margulis that explores the central role of microbes in the evolution and functioning of life on Earth.
  • F. None of above. chosen
