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.

Reptile [31]

Answer: E. Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Explanation:

The Hershey-Chase experiment, is an experiment that demonstrated that the genetic material of phage isn't protein but rather it's DNA.

Based on the information given in the question, the experiment will not work because amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Therefore, the correct option is E.

The Sun has a part in many natural processes on Earth, such as _____.
sammy [17]
All of the above, here's an explanation. The sun helps the water cycle due to evaporation which causes it to turn into a steam/gas. Now for wind, it's because the sun heats up the air and causes thermal energy which later turns into wind. And finally, weather, obviously the sun evaporates water which causes it to be rainy/drowsy.
