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).

Answer:

C. A new plant develops from a stem or root of its parent plant.

Explanation:

Plants reproduce from two ways i. e. Reproduction through seeds and reproduction through vegetative parts. In reproduction through seeds, new plants emerge from seeds when they are sown in the soil while in vegetative reproduction, new plant emerge from vegetative parts such as stem, leaves and roots. Vegetative reproduction is better because it saves time.

Explain this long term change in beak characteristics using the concept of:
Delicious77 [7]

Beak of birds change according to their climate and other conditions in their surroundings as the birds adapt to them.

Explanation:

The beak of the bird is the source from which it catches its prey so it is important for the survival of the bird that the beak remains effective for the use.

The competition from other species of birds may often trigger development in beaks for better suitability to the climate to become more effective than other species.

This happens through the process of adaptation as the birds adapt to their environment and then pass their genes down to their next generation through their inheritance in lineage.

In an ecological pyramid, what information might be displayed about each trophic level
topjm [15]
The information that may be shown in an ecological pyramid is the relative amount of energy.
A food pyramid is wider at the bottom, at lower trophic levels, showing that there is a higher amount of energy available to the producers, and this energy reduces as we move up the trophic levels of the ecosystem.
