Viruses to survive they must be able to do 3 things
o Get into a susceptible host. Attachment to host cell membrane. Not in plant, fungal and bacterial viruses. Penetration of host cell membrane: endocytosis, mechanical penetration with plant and fungal viruses. Inject genome with some bacterial viruses
o Must be able to replicate and make more virus. Uncoating. Replication. Self-assembly of virus particles
o Most have some mechanism to move the newly made viruses to new susceptible host.
Primary: symbiosis between a cell that engulfed either a mitochondria or a chloroplast.
Should have 3 genomes, if you count organelles (1) and nuclear DNA separately (2), in the end (one nuclear genome, one mitochondrial genome, one chloroplast genome) *
Secondary: engulfing one cell/organism that has a chloroplast/mitochondria from primary endosymbiosis.
Should have 5 genomes, if you count organelles and nuclear DNA separately, in the end (3 from primary + 1 nuclear genome + 1 mitochondrial genome) *
Tertiary: engulfing an organism that is already secondary endosymbiont. Thus, acquiring their mitochondria and/or chloroplasts. Should have 7 genomes, if you count organelles and nuclear DNA separately, in the end (5 from secondary + 1 mitochondrial and 1 nuclear genome)
