Isn't cells incorporating invader DNA how we ended up with mitochondria?

Also, 2nd season of cells at work is even better than the 1st fwiw.

I thought mitochondria was thought to have been a bacteria which was absorbed by a cell and ended up not getting eaten and it became a symbiotic relationship somehow.

I think the mitochondria thing was more a case of ancient cells incorporating other cells as organelles.

I couldn't get into that 2nd season since it was very dark. I'll have to give it another go.
