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.

lapo4ka [179]
Biogeographic isolation means that a population is separated and there are two populations in two different areas. As normal mutations take place, but certain mutations will be seen as advantageous in the different areas. For. Example if an area had taller trees the organism may develop a gene to grow taller. This is then passed down to offspring. This process continues so that more gene differences are created within the species and the frequency of these alleles increased: leading to two different species developing-

What is the difference between the life cycle of ferns and the life cycle of humans?
Bond [772]
Ferns make their own food. They grow and reproduce using spores instead of things like seeds. Humans on the other hand have to ingest food from their surrounding and when mature reproduce sexually. They can also choose if they want to reproduce or not while ferns don't have that option. Sexual reproduction is based on inseminating and egg cell, while ferns don't worry about this because the spores just fall on the ground.
