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.

Ainat [17]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The effector response that increases the body is not associated with vasodilation of dermal blood vessels.

The skins's immense blood supply helps in temperature regulation of the body. The dilated blood vessels helps in heat loss and lowers the body temperature.

Unlike, them the vasoconstriction retains heat and increases the body temperature.

So, the correct answer is option A
