Answer:  Symbiogenesis

The process responsible for the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotes is Symbiogenesis or endosymbiotic theory. 

This theory states<span> that </span>mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from bacteria entering a eukaryotic cell to form a symbiotic relationship.

Among the pieces of evidence supporting symbiogenesis are that new mitochondria and plastids are formed only through binary fission and the striking similarities between bacteria and these organelles<span><span /> (mitochondria and chloroplasts). Similarities include 1) They have their own DNA, which is separate from the DNA found in the nucleus of the cell. and  2) both organelles use their DNA to produce many proteins and enzymes required for their function</span>

A species that humans bring to an area where it did not previously occur is a(an):_________
Tasya [4]

A species that humans bring to an area where it did not previously occur is a(an): exotic species.

Exotic species are those that exist outside of their native geographic range, also known as alien, nonnative, nonindigenous, or introduced species. Exotic species are those that people have purposefully or accidentally introduced into ecosystems outside of the ones in which they have evolved. These introductions undoubtedly happen regularly in nature.

For instance, the Japanese native Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) was brought to the United States in 1876. Due to either a lack of imported individuals or inadequate adaptation to the ecosystem they join, the majority of attempts to introduce exotic species are likely to be unsuccessful. However, some species have preadaptations that can help them thrive even more in a novel setting.
