Question

multiple choice question
the nucleus and the er of eukaryotes are thought to have evolved _______.
from infoldings of the plasma membrane
through the acquisition of dna molecules from the environment
from mitochondria
through the engulfing of prokaryotes

Explanation:

The nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotes are thought to have evolved from infoldings of the plasma membrane. This is part of the endomembrane - system origin theory. Acquisition of DNA from the environment is not related to their origin. Mitochondria and engulfing of prokaryotes are related to the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts, not the nucleus and ER.

Answer:

from infoldings of the plasma membrane
