Explanation of Solution

The cyanobacteria, which are a photosynthetic bacterium, became endosymbiotic in plants and thereby gave rise to the chloroplast. The chloroplast, which is one of the plant organelles, has evolved from cyanobacteria through a process called primary endosymbiosis. It has been evolved when an early eukaryote engulfed a cyanobacterium.
