Answer:

The DNA is more closer to bacteria.

Explanation:

Mitochondria and chloroplast are considered as semi-autonomous organelle because they contain their own genetic material. The mitochondria and chloroplast evolution can be explained by the endosymbiont theory.

The DNA of mitochondria and chloroplast are more closely related to bacterial chromosome rather than eukaryotic chromosome.  Both the organelle and bacterial DNA are double stranded and  their translation can be inhibited by the chloramphenicol. Some of their replicating enzymes also show similar characteristics.

Thus, the DNA is more closer to bacteria.

A:Any of a group of complex organic macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and usually sulfur and are composed of one or more chains of amino acids. Proteins are fundamental components of all living cells and include many substances, such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies, that are necessary for the proper functioning of an organism. They are essential in the diet of animals for the growth and repair of tissue and can be obtained from foods such as meat, fish, eggs, milk, and legumes.</span>

How do physical characteristics of organisms support the theory of evolution?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Homologous features

Explanation:

If two or more species share a unique physical feature, such as a complex bone structure or a body plan, they may all have inherited this feature from a common ancestor. Physical features shared due to evolutionary history (a common ancestor) are said to be homologous.
