Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

organelles are very similar to present-day bacteria, suggesting a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Some evidence suggests that some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotes were once used to be independent eukaryotes.

Endosymbiosis theory says that ancestral prokaryotic cells engulfed bacteria like cyanobacteria which with time evolved into mitochondria and chloroplast. Molecular evidence also proves that these organelles were once prokaryotic organisms because they show similar genetic makeup and ribosome type.

So these organelles are similar to present-day bacteria showing that they have a common ancestor.

It is a scientific law
Explanation:
A scientific law states a constant relationship between two or more variables, each of which represents a property or measurement of specific systems. It is a constant and unchanging rule, usually expressed mathematically which allows to predict the unknown based on what is known with logical and real relationships.
A scientific theory is a set of concepts and rules (scientific laws) that express the relationships between observations of such concepts and generates a principle or set of principles to explain a phenomenon.
