The endosymbiont theory explains the origin of the eukaryotic cell organelles where the cells were engulfed but not digested by the larger prokaryotic cells and in the process developed into the chloroplast, mitochondria and other organelles.
(A) The theory was trying to explain the evolutionary origin of the various cell organelles and,
also explains the dependence of cells on one another.
(B) The evidences that supported the Endosymbiotic theory includes;
-The photosynthetic bacteria; This bacteria utilize the sun's energy to make energy hence the oxygen released from the process accumulated in the atmosphere thereby leading to the death of the anaerobic cells.
-Organelles have their own DNA and divide independently, therefore Margulis predicted that if the organelles were really prokaryotic symbionts, then they would have their own DNA.
- The study of fossils showed the aerobic cells in it, therefore the cells could use the toxic oxygen and convert it into ATP(energy) and water. Organisms that could thrive in aerobic environments were now best suited to the environment.

<span>You seem worried that the surgery will change how others see you" is an open-ended response that encourages further discussion. The response "You seem concerned that your partner will reject you" is too specific; the nurse does not have enough information to come to this conclusion. The response "You are wondering about the effect on your sexual relations" is too specific; the nurse does not have enough information to come to this conclusion. The response "You are probably underestimating your partner's love for you" denies the client's concern and may cause feelings of guilt for questioning the partner's love.</span>

_____ provides a mechanism by which the chromosome number may be kept the same from one generation to another. Mitosis Meiosis N

Setler [38]

Answer: mitosis.

During DNA replication a pair of chromosomes of from one cell genders two duplicated chromosomes (so the number of chromosomes is duplicated), then in the mitosis process the cell split into two identical cells each with half of the duplicated chromosomes, so at the end one cell with two chromosomes form two cells each with two chromosomes. So, the new generation of cells has the same number of chromosomes.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the theory of evolution,species which are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce in a population passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.

During sexual reproduction, genes can be arranged in new ways from chromosomal crossing over and recombination. This introduces new gene combinations(genotype) and ultimately variation in the population.

This variation may also lead to the observation of new phenotypes in the population.

These statements describe three different reactions.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: 2 - The nucleus of an atom is split apart

Explanation: Any reaction involving the nucleus of an atom is called a nuclear reaction. It is different from ordinary chemical reactions that involve electrons because it involves the release of large amount of energy. Nuclear reactions can be classified as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

A nuclear reaction in which a nucleus of an atom is split into two smaller atoms with a release of large amount of energy is called nuclear fission. A nuclear reaction that involves the combination of lighter nuclei of elements to form heavier atoms that are more stable with the release of a large quantity of energy is called nuclear fusion.
