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.

As distance west of kilauea increases the size of the islands generally appears to decrease. What is likely the reason for this
MakcuM [25]

The reason is two fold, the first is the active volcano of Kilauea implies there is a lot of heat under the big island of Hawaii, and that heat causes the island to be buoyed up. However, the other islands do not have active volcanos, are colder, and have subsided, the 2nd is, because the volcanoes on the older islands are dormant, those islands are and are no longer growing and are steadily eroding away.
