It is admitted widely that today's eucaryote arose from chimerization of the mitochondria and the chloroplast into ancestral eucaryote. Though, the transference of gone beyond the wall of genus is not only at the birth of eucaryote. According to circumstantial evidence, eucaryote has gained the new function by symbiosis and chimerisation with other eucaryote. It seems that alga is such a living thing. We would like to indicate it by molecular phylogeny and to analyze its mechanism. Because of genome's flexibility, bacteria is led too organelle or algais led to secondary chloroplast. We would like to indicate the genome's flexibility through background of molecular biology.
Besides, it became clear gradually that the intron in organelle's genome (Group I, II) is transference beyond the wall of genus. But it is not known why such transference is possible. We analyze it using chlamidomonas.
