The endosymbiotic theory stated that the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells are actually prokaryotic bacteria which were once engulfed by prehistoric eukaryotic cells as a result of evolution.

 

Therefore to answer this question, here are some characteristics: 
1 Both mitochondria and prokaryotic cells contain their own DNA.

2 Neither of the two have true nuclei, but they do have a space in which their DNA is enclosed. 
3 Mitochondria and prokaryotic cells have similar transcriptional machinery, which means that they have the same process of making RNA from DNA.

<span>4 Mitochondria contain their own genome, and the formation of their genome in most organisms is circular similar to prokaryotes.</span>

When referring to cell division, oncogenes are most like ________ while tumor suppressor genes are most like ________. the brake
Inga [223]

Oncogenes are most like the gas pedal on a car, while tumor suppressor genes are most like the brakes on a car. Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are mutated in cancer cells.

Oncogenes are genes overexpressed in cells in which they should not be expressed, thereby leading to cancer.

Some examples of oncogenes are growth factors such as, for example, the  Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or Epidermal growth factor (EGF).

Conversely, tumor suppressor genes are genes that act to regulate cell division and replication, thereby their inactivation also leads to cancer.

A well-known example of a tumor suppressor gene is the p53 gene that acts to control cell division and apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Many insects do not see into the red color-range and as a result, many insect-pollinated flowers are colors other than red (e.g.
melisa1 [442]

The correct answer is adaptation.  

Pollination refers to the procedure of transferring the pollen grain from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of a carpel. Some plants are amended for pollination by the wind, and some for pollination by insects.  

The plants, which are adapted for pollination via insects exhibit colorful petals and nectar to attract the insects, and sticky pollen, which adheres to the insects when they visit the flowers.

Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells ?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Why not use adult stem cells instead of using human embryonic stem cells in research? Human embryonic stem cells are thought to have much greater developmental potential than adult stem cells. ... However, a newer type of reprogrammed adult cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells, has proven to be pluripotent.
