Researchers have found that mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotic cells have their own DNA. This DNA is different from the

DNA in a eukaryotic cell's nucleus. Chloroplasts and mitochondria use their own DNA and ribosomes to make some organelle-specific proteins.
What statement is best supported by this information?

A.
Early eukaryotic cells engulfed prokaryotic cells, which later became mitochondria and chloroplasts.
B.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts could exist outside of modern cells.
C.
Modern cells could exist without mitochondria and chloroplasts.
D.
Early prokaryotic cells engulfed eukaryotic cells, which later became mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Answer:

B. Early Eukaryotic cells engulfed mitochondria and chloroplasts

Explanation:

Mitochondria and Chloroplast are organelle that are found in cells of higher animals. Chloroplast are found almost exclusively in plants and mitochondria is found in animal cells. The function of these organelles are to produce energy to the cells, and by extension, the organism that they live in.  

Unique features of these organelles show that they have their own DNA and divide and multiply on their own. This strongly suggest that they were once free living prokaryotes and were engulfed by larger cells and a symbiotic relationship began.

As time progressed, these prokaryotes did not require all of their genetic information and this was removed from their system. They kept essential genes and regulatory bodies separate that they needed for their maintenance and function that they provide.

Are physical characteristics of an organism not genetically passed down?
Tomtit [17]
That is false. Physical characteristics of an organism are genetically passed down.

—Evidence—

A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes.

The set of information that controls a trait; a segment of DNA on a chromosone that codes for a specific trait.

Heredity is the biological process responsible for passing on physical traits from one generation to another.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

My pretest behaviors were triggered by the sympathetic nervous system, while my body returned to its normal state by the way of the parasympathetic nervous system, after the test.

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system are part of the autonomic nervous system. The main function of the autonomic nervous system is to regulate the heart, kidneys, and liver which are not under voluntary control. The regulation of the body’s unconscious actions is executed through the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system.

Upon exposure to stressors or threats, the sympathetic nervous system is triggered. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are then released, causing acceleration of the heart, constriction of blood vessels, increase in blood pressure, profuse sweating and other related responses against stress. The sympathetic nervous system controls all these involuntary responses that could be termed “fight-flight-or-freeze” response.

On the other hand, the parasympathetic nervous system initiates what is termed “rest and digest” response, which occurs immediately after the “fight-flight-or-freeze” phase response to stress is over. The body is returned to its normal state by the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system releases acetylcholine, which regulates the function of the body during a period of rest or recuperation.

What is the fate of the products produced from photosynthesis​
otez555 [7]
Photosynthesis produces oxygen and water. Photosynthesis is the result of a cycle. Humans use oxygen for respiration, the product produced from human respiration is carbon dioxide. Then plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into oxygen with photosynthesis, this goes on and on as a cycle.
