Research suggests that mitochondria and chloroplasts are modern-day descendants of ancient prokaryotes that were engulfed by anc

estral eukaryotes. DNA is present in both of these organelles, which represents the only location for DNA in a eukaryotic cell outside of the nucleus. Briefly explain how this DNA evidence strongly supports this theory of endosymbiosis.

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitochondria and Chloroplast contain some  Ribosomes which are different from the cytoplasmic ribosomes,These were measured to be 80s,while the Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are 70s.

Furthermore smaller circular DNA were found in theses two organelles,(which are the first DNA outside nucleus).These DNA types are the exact forms found in bacteria.

Thus, it was concluded that if these organelles could contained these genetic materials,they must  be bacterial.Therefore chloroplast and mitochondria were  ancient bacterial which  now live  in a mutual exclusive relationships in the larger cells of Eukaryotas(plant and animals).This is the basis of Endosymbiont theory.

That is these organelles  live inside(Endo) new host in symbiosis or  beneficial association with one another (symbiont).

A beaker of distilled water was placed on a bench. Using a pipette a drop of red blood cells was placed at the bottom of the bea
Scorpion4ik [409]

Explanation:

when the red blood cells are placed in the water, differences in concentration causes haemolysis to occur at a point,excess pressure in the cell on cell membrane causes the cell to burst, diffusion then takes places causing the molecules of the red blood cells to be distributed evenly throughout the distilled water

Louis Pasteur proved that all new cells come from preexisting ones. What concept did Pasteur’s experiments disprove
Brilliant_brown [7]
Louis Pasteur’s experiments has taken a leap on cell biology. He was able to contribute to the concept of cell theory which suggests that cells came from pre-existing cells, cells are the fundamental unit of life and that all life have cells.

Highlighting on pre-existing cells, early before the experiments of Pasteur, there was the theory of spontaneous generation. This theory claims that organisms came from nonliving objects which is now, truly misleading and wrong.
