<h3><u>Answer and Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Endosymbiotic theory</u> explains the origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria and their double membrane.  Mitochondria of eukaryotes evolved from aerobic bacteria living within their host cell and the chloroplasts of eukaryotes evolved from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria.
  • On the other hand according to the <u>autogenous hypothesis, </u>mitochondria and chloroplasts have evolved within the protoeukaryote cell by compartmentalizing plasmids or vesicles of DNA within a pinched off invagination of the cell membrane.
  • <u>Endosymbiont theory </u>is the theory that suggests that simple prokaryotic cells were engulfed by larger prokaryotes 1.5 billion years ago.
  • <u>Autogenous theory</u> is a theory that was proposed as an alternative to endosymbiont theory. proposes that eukaryotic organelles formed by infolding of the plasma membrane.
  • <u>Horizontal gene transfer theory</u> is an alternative to endosymbiont and autogenous theories for the origin of complex organelles in eukaryotes.

Explain the rock cycle by describing how an igneous rock can become a sedimentary rock, then a metamorphic rock, and then an ign
Paraphin [41]
An igneous rock can be formed from cooled magma. The igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is broken down by wind or water. The sedimentary rock can become metamorphic if it becomes buried in the earth, where pressure and heat would turn it into a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock can then become an igneous rock by melting underground and turning into magma, flowing out of a volcano, and cooling.

What is true about the relationship of adenine and thymine?
MAXImum [283]
<span>DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. The deoxy- in the DNA is a short term for deoxyribose. The nucleic acid molecule has three parts; sugar, phosphate and a base. The phosphate in the DNA acts as a backbone of the molecule. It is also responsible for the DNA’s ‘double-helix’ structure. The base has four codes namely adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. Adenine and thymine are bse pairs whereas cytosine and guanine are base pairs. They are not to be interchanged. Resulting in one cause mutation in the gene. </span>

1. What is the difference between external and internal fertilization? *
Andru [333]
Internal fertilization is the process when the syngamy (union of male and female gamete) occurs inside the female body after insemination using copulation. In contrast, External fertilization is the syngamy outside the female body, that is in the outer environment especially in water bodies.
