Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have been ______.
yawa3891 [41]
Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from engulfed prokaryotes that once lived as independent organisms.
(At some point, a eukaryotic cell engulfed an aerobic prokaryote, which then formed an endosymbiotic relationship with the host eukaryote, gradually developing into a mitochondrion. Eukaryotic cells containing mitochondria then engulfed photosynthetic prokaryotes, which evolved to become specialized chloroplast organelles).
