From the article:
Scientists have caught a once-in-a-billion-years evolutionary event in progress, as two lifeforms have merged into one organism that boasts abilities its peers would envy. Last time this happened (1.6 billion years ago), certain advanced cells absorbed a type of bacteria that could harvest energy from sunlight. These became organelles called chloroplasts, which gave sunlight-harvesting abilities, as well as a fetching green color, to a group of lifeforms you might have heard of – plants.
And now, scientists have discovered that it’s happening again. A species of algae called Braarudosphaera bigelowii was found to have engulfed a cyanobacterium that lets them do something that algae, and plants in general, can’t normally do – “fixing” nitrogen straight from the air, and combining it with other elements to create more useful compounds.
A similar thing happens with cockroaches where crucial bacteria are absorbed into cells to ensure inheritance in offspring.

explain please
Bacteria 🦠 goes👋 and then brrrr 👉👌👏👏 in cockroach kids 🪳 so they become 1️⃣, hallelujah 🙏
explain this but without the emojis?
