Answer:
The statement that says " The mitochondrion contains a circular chromosome that has bacterial DNA sequences" is true among the all statement given above.
Explanation:
The Endosymbiotic theory that is other wise known as the symbiogensis illustrates the occurrence of the eukaryotic cell from the prokaryotic cells. Mitochondria and plastids are the most studied example in support of this theory. This theory explains that the aforementioned organelles are formed as they are taken inside in one another by the prokaryotic cell. Some of the evidences in support of this theory are mentioned below:
- Phylogenetic similarity between the mitochondria and chloroplast to the proteobacteria and cynobacteria respectively.
- Ability of these organelles to divide only through binary fission as the bacterial population.
- The associated ribosomes are similar to the bacterial ribosomes.
- Presence of porins in these organelles similar the bacterial membrane.
Hey there! Simply put, inherited traits come from an ancestor, and acquired are ones that are earned through adaption. Hopefully that makes sense. :)
Genetic alteration refers to altering DNA sequence. Gene alteration forms genetically modified products that modifies the gene sequence. DNA consist of two long chains of nucleotides that are twisted and joined together in hydrogen bonds. These DNA cannot be altered in nature but gene expression can be altered.
