what evolutionary mechanism is most likely to explain the frequency of alleles involved in aging according to the mutation accum

According to the mutation accumulation theory, ageing organisms experience an increase in frailty and mortality due to the haphazard accumulation of mutations that harm them.

The traditional evolutionary explanation of ageing explains why mortality increases with age: as people age, their lifetime fertility declines, therefore their ability to continue to survive has a smaller impact on their ability to reproduce. But in addition to fertility, successful reproduction frequently entails intergenerational transfers.

What is one piece of evidence that some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotes used to be independent p
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

organelles are very similar to present-day bacteria, suggesting a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Some evidence suggests that some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotes were once used to be independent eukaryotes.

Endosymbiosis theory says that ancestral prokaryotic cells engulfed bacteria like cyanobacteria which with time evolved into mitochondria and chloroplast. Molecular evidence also proves that these organelles were once prokaryotic organisms because they show similar genetic makeup and ribosome type.

So these organelles are similar to present-day bacteria showing that they have a common ancestor.
