Does mitochondria have bacteria in it?
Mitochondria are evolved from bacteria.They do not contain bacteria.
Where have mitochondria originated from?
They have evolved from bacteria. Aerobic bacteria have turned into them
What is a characteristic of chloroplasts that suggests that they might have evolved from free-living bacteria?
Photosynethic bacteria are likely involved.
Did mitochondria evolved from engulfed prokaryotes?
Yes,they were evolved from bacteria.They were aerobic bacteria.
How do scientists think mitochondria originated?
Mitochondria are evolved from bacteria.Symbiotic living aerobic bacteria turned into mitochondria.
The mitochondria of eukaryotes evolved from what type of organism?
Aerobic bacteria
How mitochondria or chloroplasts evolved?
Endosymbiotic theory describes the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplast.According to it,photosynthetic bacteria and aerobic bacteria engulfed by a eukaryotic cell turned into chloroplast and mitochondria.
What are mitochondria the descendants of?
She suggested that michondria and chloroplasts are descendents of prokaryotic endosymbionts.
What organisms created the modern mitochondria?
Aerobic bacteria evolved into mitochondria.It is explained in endosymbiotic theory.
Where do we think mitochondria and chloroplasts came from?
They are thought to evolved from bacteria. Symbiotic living have turned them into organelles
What organelle does the endosymbiotic theory suggest evolved from the symbiotic relationships between prokaryotic cells?
Mitochondria evolved from aerobic bacteria.Chloroplast evolved from photosynthetic bacteria.
How is mitochondra formed?
Mitochondria divide themselves if more are needed. They are thought to be ancient bacteria. Their DNA has genes that code for this cell division.
