Question

Biologist Lynn Margulis proposed a theory stating that different prokaryotic organisms joined in symbiosis to eventually become eukaryotic cells. Which statement supports her theory?

Answer 1

The statement that best supports her theory is the following. Mitochondria and chloroplast are two organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Both mitochondria and chloroplast have characteristics often found in prokaryotic cells.

These organelles are important because they produce chemical energy and they are key to understanding the evolution of the eukaryotic cell.

I hope it helps, Regards.

Answer 2

The correct answer should be mitochondria and chloroplasts

This is because they replicate with binary fission. This also occurs during a prokaryotic cell division
