Aphid and Fungus Linked:
An aphid and fungus are linked by a DNA strand. This DNA is responsible for producing carotenoids.
Long ago, an ancestor to today's pea aphid somehow internalized a large important chunk of DNA from a fungus. This DNA now allows the aphid to generate its own carotenoid molecules. ...
