How are mitochondria and chloroplasts manufactured in the cell?
Both of them are thought to have originated from primitive bacteria. This theory is called Endosymbiont theory.
What was the theory developed around the idea some eukaryotic organelles evolved from prokaryotic organisms?
endosymbiont
After ln margulis's endosymbiont theory met oppositon what new evidnece emerged in support of the theory?
main distinction between euayotes and prokaryotes
Where Might have Mitochondria originated from?
From early prokaryotes that lived symbiotically with eukaryotic cells Margules endosymbiont theory
What theory was developed around the idea that some eukaryote organelles evolved from prokaryotics organisms?
endosymbiont
Tue or false the endosymbiont theory suggests that eukaryotes evolved through a symbiotic relationship between prokaryotes?
true
What theory was developed around the idea that some eukaryotic organelles evolved from proyarotic organisms?
The Endosymbiotic theory of Lynn Margulis.
How long ago did the eukaryotes evolve?
Evolution of Eukaryotes took approximately 1.5 billion years .
What contains DNA and controls a protist's metabolism and development?
Endosymbiont
What is zoothanthellae?
a endosymbiont dinoflagellate of common corals. My aid in photosynthesis and subsequently the building of reefs.
What does the endosymbiont hypothesis propose?
It proposes that early eukaryotic cells acquired the precursors of mitochondria and chloroplasts by engulfing certain types of bacteria.
What is the significance of the Y-chromosome and of mitochondrial DNA?
The Y chromosome affects the gender of a baby, the combinations can be XX (female) and XY (male). Mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother and codes for the energy-producing structures known as mitochondria. It is thought that a long time ago mitochondria and cells were separate, but then a cell ingested a mitochondrion and, realising the advantages, did not digest it. This is known as the endosymbiont theory and ties in nicely with Darwin's theory of evolution (survival of the fittest/most adapted).
