Answer:
Mitochondrial ribosomes are similar to the prokaryotic ribosomes since mitochondria evolved by endosymbiosis. So, antibiotics can affect protein synthesis in mitochondria.
Explanation:
Streptomycin is an antibiotic that controls bacterial growth by binding to the small ribosomal subunit (the 30S) of bacteria. Thereby, this antibiotic interferes with protein synthesis and causes misreading of mRNA. Mitochondria were evolved when an anaerobic prokaryote engulfed an aerobic prokaryote which in turn became symbiotic later and lost the ability to live freely.
The ribosomes of mitochondria are similar to the bacterial ribosomes and are inhibited by the presence of streptomycin. Therefore, streptomycin was directly able to inhibit the protein synthesis in mitochondria while not affecting the same process in the cytosol of the cell.

Answer: Invasive species can harm both the natural resources in an ecosystem as well as threaten human use of these resources. An invasive species can be introduced to a new area via the ballast water of oceangoing ships, intentional and accidental releases of aquaculture species, aquarium specimens or bait, and other means.
