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.

Answer:

The dotted line most likely represent  C NADH and FADH2

Explanation:

NADH is a reducing agent formed during glycolysis and TCA cycle. FADH2 also act as electron donor or reducing equivalent generated only during TCA cycle.

        NADH and FADH2 are reduced form of coenzyme NAD+  and FAD. NADH and FADH2 formed during glycolysis or TCA cycle, enters into the electron transport chain(ETC) to perform oxidative phosphorylation that deals with reduction of oxygen(O2) to water(H2O) along with the formation of energy in form of ATP.
