Question
what is the endosymbiotic hypothesis?

Answer
Dear Stephanie,

The notes from one of my Evolution and Biodiversity course lectures can help explain this to you.  Please read:

The explanation for eukaryotic cell origin (Endosymbiont Model or Hypothesis) starts a few paragraphs from the top.

Hope that helps!
