When a geologist working in stratified rocks observes a limestone bed with oyster fossils overlain by beds with clam and echinoderm fossils indicative of marine conditions, the fossils probably indicate ----- that the environment had changed as the sea level rose and it displaced the oysters environment with marine conditions represented by the clams and echinoderms.
The DNA in the nucleus and mitochondria are the same.
This is not exactly true, although they are similar. This is not a correct option.
The following three are correct options:
Mitochondria and chloroplasts grow independently from the cell.
This is true, and supports the idea that they previously existed as their own organisms.
Prokaryotic cells, mitochondria, and chloroplasts are all the same size.
All three organisms/organelles are roughly the same size, which supports the idea that chloroplasts and mitochondria are descendants or prokaryotes.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own ribosomes.This is true as well.
A simple solution is basically two substances that are evenly mixed together, but the mixture is homogeneous. Meaning, you can no longer tell the two substances apart once they are mixed in solution.
This is because the solute dissolves in the solution.
A solute is the substance to be dissolved (sugar).
The solvent is the one doing the dissolving (water).
As a rule of thumb, there is usually more solvent than solute.The amount of solute that can be dissolved by the solvent is defined as solubility.
