Question

Photosynthetic eukaryotes have genes for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in their nuclei, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Keeping in mind how the two latter organelles were acquired in evolution, which rRNA genes, if any, are likely to have been evolutionarily derived from close relatives?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - nuclear rRNA, mitochondrial rRNA, and chloroplast rRNA are from distant relatives.

Explanation:

Mitochondria and chloroplast get their own genome which includes DNA and rRNA as the diverge from the prokaryotes such as bacteria and archaea which were acquired by the eukaryotes.

They brought advantages with them to the eukaryotic organism and host cells such as the ability of photosynthesis and act as the powerhouse of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option - nuclear rRNA, mitochondrial rRNA, and chloroplast rRNA are from distant relatives.
