horsena [70]

Answer:

a.Many mitochondrial genes resemble proteobacteria genes, while the genes in the chloroplast resemble genes found in some photosynthetic bacteria.

c.Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes that are similar to those found in bacteria.

d.Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a process similar to mitosis.

Explanation:

Endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplast which are organelles of eukaryotic cells were once independently living micro-organisms but with due course of time eukaryotic cells engulfed them and they become an integral part of these eukaryotic cells.

The resemblance between mitochondrial genes with those of proteobacteria and chloroplast genes with photosynthetic bacteria strongly support endosymbiotic theory. Apart from this, the presence of their own DNA that too circular just like prokaryotic microbes and 70 S ribosomes also support this theory. Also just like prokaryotic cells, before cell division mitochondria and chloroplasts undergo replication by means of a process known as binary fission.

Which of the steps in this sequence of events is an example of mitosis at work?
taurus [48]
<span>The bruise slowly disappears as the arm heals.

</span>
<span>The two identical daughter cells resulting from mitosis and cytokinesis are identical in the following ways:1. Mitosis occurs when the nucleus of the cell divides into two identical nuclei, each with the same type and number of chromosomes. The cell's DNA is duplicated during this phase. Sometimes the cell's DNA isn't copied properly resulting in cancer-type cells. 2. Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides into two identical daughter cells. Each cell is genetically identical and both are a similar size.

What is the overall charge of an atom? Why does it have this charge?
Ainat [17]
