Answer:

<h2> Endosymbiosis theory: It confirmed a fundamental prediction made by the hypothesis and have great evidences and could not be explained by any alternative hypothesis.</h2>

Explanation:

Both bacteria and mitochondrial DNA are in circular form.  

Both bacteria and mitochondria contain 70S chromosome, both have their own replicating machinery.

According to endosymbiosis theory :

The host cell provided a protected environment and carbon compounds for the endosymbiont;  and in return ,the endosymbiont provided increased ATP from the carbon compounds.

Insects and millipedes were among the very first terrestrial animals. Hypothesize what characteristics of their aquatic ancestor
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Preadaptations like tegument and body segmentation could have been used by insects and millipedes to survive in terrestrial habitats.

Explanation:

As crustaceans, millipedes and insects have a protective, hard tegument, which surface is frequently smooth. Some groups can also present spines, bristles, or tubercles.  The tegument protects the animals against harmful stimuli of different nature, such as mechanic, thermal, chemical, etc. It is also an effective barrier against pathogen microorganisms and excessive dehydration. In groups like crustaceans and insects, as the external layer gets hard, the tegument constitutes an important support organ. It is composed of a simple, cubic epithelium called hypodermis, and secretes exoskeleton, which is composed of chitin and can also be shaped by calcareous impregnations. Chitin is an impermeable, light y hard substance, that allows life on land without dehydration.   Segmentation (repetition of identical anatomical units) is another characteristic in these groups that have helped to domain terrestrial habitats. It seems like segmentation is highly advantageous from an evolution point of view because it is much easier to adapt each segment separately to environmental pressures, responding to different necessities, than adapting the whole body to it, developing a new organ for each necessity. Also, it is a strategy to defend themselves from predators by rolling up.
