Two biologists co-discover a population of single-celled eukaryotes that do NOT have mitochondria. Whoa! One biologist thinks th

e cells must be from a lineage that never underwent endosymbiosis, but the second biologist thinks endosymbiosis happened at some point, but the mitochondria were later lost. Which of the following provides the BEST evidence to support the second biologist?
A. the cells are incapable of surviving without sunlightB. sexual reproduction is never observedC. the nuclear genome has some genes from proteobacteriaD. the cells also contain chloroplasts

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The amitochondriate eukaryotes may have genes that have been derived from purple alphaloproteobacteria because they do not have the mitochondria which is needed to optimize energy production in the presence of oxygen, can live and exist in a condition with little to no oxygen which is a characteristic of proteobacteria and hence are anaerobes obtaining energy by anaerobic respiration. They may have also undergone the endosymbiont theory but due to their environment which has little to no oxygen. They do not have a need for the mitochondria organelle and in the process lose this organelle.

Number the steps of the binary fission process in correct order
kari74 [83]

Step 1:

The bacterium cell must copy its DNA so the new cells will have DNA. DNA or, deoxyribonucleic acid, has all of the information the bacterium will need to survive, so it is important it gets copied. The DNA is tightly wound so it is in a neat package called a chromosome.

Steps 2 and 3:

The bacterium now grows larger. This allows for some separation between the two DNA copies that are inside the cell. A division develops in the middle of the bacterium. This division eventually completely divides the bacterium in half. This is called cytokinesis.

Step 4:

Each cell is now called a daughter cell and they separate.

The steps of binary fission

binary fission

Binary fission results in two identical daughter cells. This is a type of asexual reproduction, or creating genetically identical offspring. If humans were able to reproduce using binary fission, it would look something like this: your mother or father would grow larger, and inside all of his or her DNA would be copied. Eventually your parent would split in half creating an identical clone.

Animals are associated with ___and plants are associated with
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Animals and plants are associated with both divisions and phyla

As kingdom grows the more species are in the classifying group. 

And since there are only a number of kingdom and thousand species, it would account that species changes more rapidly and exponentially grows than kingdoms.
