The endosymbiotic theory stated
that the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells are actually prokaryotic bacteria
which were once engulfed by prehistoric eukaryotic cells as a result of
evolution.
Therefore to answer this
question, here are some characteristics:
1 Both mitochondria and prokaryotic cells contain their own
DNA.
2 Neither of the two have
true nuclei, but they do have a space in which their DNA is enclosed.
3 Mitochondria and prokaryotic cells have similar
transcriptional machinery, which means that they have the same process of
making RNA from DNA.
<span>4 Mitochondria
contain their own genome, and the formation of their genome in most organisms
is circular similar to prokaryotes.</span>
DNA, cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes.
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have structures in common. All cells have a cell membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA. The cell membrane, or plasma membrane, is the phospholipid layer that surrounds the cell and protects it from the outside environment.
