Answer:

The correct answer will be option B (Their ribosomes resemble the ribosomes of bacteria).

Explanation:

Endosymbiotic theory was proposed by Biologist Lynn Margulis in the 1960's which stated that a large cell ingested the bacteria for survival which became dependent on one another, resulting in a permanent relationship which cannot live outside the cell.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts were evolved from the endocytosis of prokaryotes aerobic and photosynthetic bacteria respectively.

Both mitochondria and chloroplasts posses their own DNA and 70S ribosomes which shows similarity to the DNA and ribosomes of bacteria.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Viruses could pass through bacterial filter which made belief that viruses are fluid.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Contagium vivum fluidum is the term that was used by the scientists to describe the virus. The virus was first discovered by the scientist Beijernick who isolated the tobacco mosaic virus and as the tried to filter and separate the virus through the finest of the filters possible, he couldn't. So he said that virus are fluid in nature. Later Ivanovsky also gave the same postulate. He crystallized the virus too.

But only after the invention of electron microscope, the structure and composition of virus were completely known.

Which statement is true of crossing over?

Arada [10]

Answer:

B. It allows for genetic variation.

Explanation:

As prophase progresses, homologous chromosomes come to lie side by side and become intertwined rather like a zipper. This process is called synapsis. During synapsis, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material between one another which allows for genetic variation. This exchange is called crossing over.
