Question

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are thought to be of prokaryotic origin. One piece of evidence that supports this hypothesis is that these organelles contain prokaryotic-like ribosomes. These ribosomes are probably most similar to ribosomes found __________.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - in bacterial cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacterial ribosome is a cytoplasmic nucleoprotein particle. The main function of the bacterial ribosome is to act as the site of mRNA translation and protein synthesis.

The bacterial ribosome and the chloroplast and mitochondria have similar type of the ribosome that help in producing end producing certain protein on its own.

Thus, the correct answer is - in bacterial cells.

Answer 2

The correct answer will be - in the bacterial cells

Step-by-step explanation:

The complexity of life began on Earth when the simple amoeba-like organism started ingesting the bacterial cells. The ingestion of the aerobic respiration performing bacteria formed the mitochondria and ingestion of the photosynthetic bacteria formed the chloroplast of the cell. The bacteria while evolution lost their identity and now cannot live without the host cell.

This hypothesis was supported by the evidence like a comparison of the Ribosomes of this organelle is similar to the prokaryotic bacteria as the bacterial cell.

Thus, in the bacterial cells is the correct answer.
