In fact, as
with eukaryotic organisms, division of Caulobacter cells generates two different daughter cells, which can be easily separated.

The consensus on the evolution of primitive life is that simple life forms (prokaryotes,
organisms whose cells lack a distinct nucleus) inhabited the Earth about 3 - 4 billion years ago,
eukaryotic cells (those
with a nucleus which contains the genetic material) emerging 2 - 3 billion years ago.
Cells
with nuclei, called
eukaryotic cells (which make up virtually all multi-cellular
organisms) are much larger and more complex that prokaryotic cells and likely resulted from the early combining of prokaryotic cells.
We could fairly posit that the evolutionary origin of the
eukaryotic cell was «the first time that what went around came around», a quid pro quo
with among primitive
organisms in deep time.
The CellDevo Track focuses on the study of molecular mechanisms in
eukaryotic cells and their role in tissue formation,
with the level of analysis ranging from single molecules to single cells, from cells to tissues, and from tissues to whole
organisms.
That fact that mitochondria have their own DNA, RNA, and ribosomes, supports the endosymbiosis theory, as does the existence of the amoeba, a
eukaryotic organism that lacks mitochondria and therefore requires a symbiotic relationship
with an aerobic bacterium.
Comparisons of the cytoskeleton and endocytic trafficking systems
with those of humans and other
eukaryotic organisms reveal major differences.
