Explain how the nuclear envelope of eukaryotic cells could have arisen.
Nuclear Envelope
A double-layered membrane that encases the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, separating its genetic material from the cytoplasm.
Eukaryotic Cells
Cells that have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, unlike prokaryotic cells.
- Explain the mechanism and importance of endosymbiosis in the development of eukaryotic cells.
- Discuss the structure and function of cell organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, the nuclear envelope, cilia, flagella, and centrosomes.

Final Answer :
The cell membrane of a prokaryotic cell invaginated. As it invaginated it would have pinched away from the rest of the cell membrane. The portion that pinched inward would have been retained within the cell, potentially forming the nuclear envelope.
