2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

The various precursors to modern chloroplasts were all likely some form of cyanobacteria, and like the chloroplasts, they were originally responsible for their own replication. This sentence took me a couple of passes to parse. I guess "they" refers to "precursors"? Also, is "like the chloroplasts," comparing chloroplasts to their precursors redundantly, or did we mean to compare chloroplasts to mitochondria in which case "they" refers to chloroplasts? I would improve it if I were sure I understood it. Weorthe (talk) 03:56, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
