Why do mitochondria and chloroplasts have small genomes?

Biology
1 answer:
ladessa [460]3 years ago
4 0

The mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotic cells are descendant from bacteria. Ancient eukaryotic cells ingested these bacteria and they became part of the larger cell structure. Mitochondria and chloroplasts work symbiotically with the cell to provide it with energy. Because these mitochondria and chloroplasts used to be separate bacteria living on their own, they had their own small circular DNA like all bacteria do. When they became part of the eukaryotic cell they retained this DNA. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also reproduce similar to bacteria and replicate their DNA the same way. In this way, all mitochondria and chloroplasts in the organism contain the same circular small genome, just like all nuclei in the organism contain the same spiral DNA.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The correct statements are C The pH is accurate but the solution will have excess salt. D The pH is accurate but the concentration of Tris will be incorrect

Explanation:

As the pH is finally maintained at 7 the pH for the buffer solution will be accurate but excess salt will be produced due to use of Both NaOH and HCl to make up the to 7.

As more volume of water is required at final step to make up the volume the concentration of tris will be incorrect.

algol13

The features which create deposition from rivers are found in food plains, alluvial fan, and deltas.

Deposition is termed as a process whereby the transported materials by a river are being deposited.

When a river losses energy we say that there is deposition.

Where there is high flow of water in a river deposition is likely to occur because more sediments are being carried as well as erosion which is being caused.
