Answer:
a.Many mitochondrial genes resemble proteobacteria genes, while the genes in the chloroplast resemble genes found in some photosynthetic bacteria.
c.Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes that are similar to those found in bacteria.
d.Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a process similar to mitosis.
Explanation:
Endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplast which are organelles of eukaryotic cells were once independently living micro-organisms but with due course of time eukaryotic cells engulfed them and they become an integral part of these eukaryotic cells.
The resemblance between mitochondrial genes with those of proteobacteria and chloroplast genes with photosynthetic bacteria strongly support endosymbiotic theory. Apart from this, the presence of their own DNA that too circular just like prokaryotic microbes and 70 S ribosomes also support this theory. Also just like prokaryotic cells, before cell division mitochondria and chloroplasts undergo replication by means of a process known as binary fission.
Plasmids are small DNA fragments that occur in many bacterial cells.

Explanation:
1. Human and apes are evolutionarily closely related based on the analysis of their DNA sequences.
2. Wings of bats and birds serve the same function and are analogous structure.
3. Comparative anatomy is the study of the similarities and differences in structures in similar species.
4. Fossils demonstrate that during the evolution of the whale, the whale moved from land to the sea.
5. The human tailbone and appendix are vestigial organs.
6. The homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from the common ancestor.
7. Comparative embryology is the study of similarities and differences in the embryo of different species.
8. The forelimb of all the mammals has basic bone structure.
9. Scientists who find and study fossils are called paleontologists.
The theory is the Continental drift, the super-continent is called the Pangaea.
