Hypotheses on the origin of eukaryotic cells must account for the origin of the microtubular cytoskeletal structures (including the mitotic spindle, undulipodium/cilium (so‐called flagellum) and other structures underlain by the 9(2)+2 microtubular axoneme) in addition to the membrane‐bounded nucleus. Whereas bacteria with membrane‐bounded nucleoids have been described, no precedent for mitotic, cytoskeletal, or axonemal microtubular structures are known in prokaryotes.
