What is one piece of evidence that some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotes used to be independent p

rokaryotes that were incorporated into eukaryotic cells?

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

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.

What are two events that can cause short-term climate change?
laiz [17]
None.
There's no such thing as "short term climate change".
By definition, climate change is a long term.
Short term changes are "weather", which has a great many causes.
Hope this helps :)

How can reproductive barriers form sympatric populations while their members remain in the same geographic area?
grandymaker [24]

Answer: Polyploidy

Explanation:

Polyploidy is defined as the phenomenon by which cells, tissues or organisms with three or more complete sets of chromosomes originate. Such cells, tissues or organisms are called polyploids.

If the genomes of a polyploid species come from the same ancestral species, it is said to be autopolyploid or autoploid. And if they come from two different ancestral species, it is said to be allopolyploid or alloploid. <u>Depending on the number of complete chromosome sets that the species has it is called triploid (3X), tetraploid (4X), pentaploid (5X), hexaploid (6X) and so on, where X is the monoploid number, and not to be confused with the haploid number. </u>

Redundant genetic elements of polyploid organisms can be transformed into single copies by sub-functionalization, neofunctionalization mechanisms or by the appearance of certain mutations.

<u>Two populations are sympatric when they exist in the same area and thus frequently encounter one another. </u>In general, different species cannot interbreed and produce healthy and fertile offspring due to barriers known as reproductive isolation mechanisms.  Polyploidy speciation is common in plants but rare in animals. So, animal species are much less tolerant of changes in ploidy. For example, human embryos that are triploid or tetraploid are not viable, cannot survive.

Select all that apply.
Masja [62]

The right answers are B, C and D.

An enzyme is a protein with catalytic properties. Virtually all biomolecules capable of catalyzing chemical reactions in cells are enzymes; some catalytic biomolecules, however, consist of RNA and are therefore distinct enzymes: they are ribozymes.

An enzyme acts by lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction, which increases the rate of reaction.

Which characteristic best distinguishes runoff and infiltration?
Sever21 [200]

The right option is; d. Runoff describes water movement and infiltration describes water storage.

Runoff is the portion of precipitation, irrigation or snow melt that flows over land as surface water instead of infiltrating or evaporating. Factors that influence runoff are permeability, amount of rainfall, slope and vegetation.  

Infiltration is the process by which water or precipitation on the ground surface moves into the soil. Factors that determine the rate of infiltration include; soil type, topography of the land, amount of precipitation, vegetation, and pre-saturation levels.
