(unranked)Bikont

A Bikont is a eukaryotic cell with two flagella. Some current (2005 A.D.) research suggests that a unikont (a eukaryotic cell with a single flagellum) was the ancestor of opisthokonts and Amoebozoa, and a bikont was the ancestor of Archaeplastida, Excavata, Rhizaria, and Chromalveolata.
