Later in evolution some of these newly formed eukaryotes abandoned binary fission and chose to put out distinct haploid (half the chromosomes for the species) gametes, which merged to become a zygote, from which a new baby eukaryote developed. Now the problem of these next generation of newlyweds was what to do with the furniture and appliances that each owned before moving into one cell (apartment). They mutually agreed that two conflicting color and design schemes would create a mess. Thus they would equally share the liquid assets (bank balance of nuclear chromosomes), but only one set of chloroplasts or mitochondria would do the housekeeping. So by mutual agreement one cell's appliances and furniture were trashed. Initially it was unpredictable whose, but decision was by mutual agreement. Then a mutant gamete arose which said, 'When I wed, I'll bring a dowry'.

Biologically, females originated this bad custom for a good cause, to avoid conflict. Simultaneously, a mutant irresponsible gamete arose who said, 'Someday I will marry and move into her already furnished apartment and we will live together peacefully'. These opposite type gametes had mutually suitable and complementary lifestyles and prospered and proliferated faster than the ones bickering in conflict about whose furniture should be destroyed.
