Which organelles evolved from small prokaryotes that established residence within other larger prokaryotes?
mitochondria and chloroplast
What was the theory developed around the idea some eukaryotic organelles evolved from prokaryotic organisms?
endosymbiont
Who Theorized prokaryotes evolved into eukaryotes and some had a relationship that became symbiant?
Lynn Margulis developed the endosymbiotic theory.
What theory was developed around the idea that some eukaryote organelles evolved from prokaryotics organisms?
endosymbiont
What is the evidence scientists have to support endosymbiosis and the evolution of prokaryotes to eukaryotes?
The difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is primarily that prokaryotes don't have membrane-wrapped organelles, including a cell nucleus containing its genetic material and mitochondria, the organelles that produce most of the eukaryote's supply of ATP, a source of chemical energy for cells. It is thought that organelles like the mitochondria evolved in eukaryotes as a result of endosymbiosis between prokaryotes. A similar origin has been proposed for chloroplasts in algae and plants. This is supported by the fact that these organelles contain their own DNA, and replicate independently from the host cell, as well as by their apparent genetic, morphological and behavioural relationship with various extant prokaryotes.
What did eukaryotes most evolve from?
Eukaryotes most likely evolved from prokaryotes.
Did mitochondria evolved from engulfed prokaryotes?
Yes,they were evolved from bacteria.They were aerobic bacteria.
Did the evolution of prokaryotes preceed the evolution of eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes are a lot simpler than eukaryotes so it can be assumed that prokaryotes evolved before eukaryotes.
Did eukaryotes evolved from a symbiosis between a prokaryotes and protocell?
false
What did Lynn Margulis account for the presence of DNA in Chromatin and Chromosomes?
According to Lynn Margulis the prokaryotic ancestors of these organelles evolved a symbiotic relationship with early eukaryotes, taking up residence with in the eukaryotic cell. Gaby.m
What is the origin of chloroplasts?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from engulfed prokaryotes that once lived as independent organisms. At some point, a eukaryotic cell engulfed an aerobic prokaryote, which then formed an endosymbiotic relationship with the host eukaryote, gradually developing into a mitochondrion. Eukaryotic cells containing mitochondria then engulfed photosynthetic prokaryotes, which evolved to become specialized chloroplast organelles.
Which is used as evidence for the idea that multicellular organisms evolved from prokaryotes?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA
