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)
