Question
question 1 of 25 what did eukaryotes most likely evolve from? a. prokaryotes b. multicellular protobionts c. dna d. bacteria
The endosymbiotic theory suggests that eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes are simpler cells, and over time, through symbiotic relationships and other evolutionary processes, eukaryotes with membrane - bound organelles emerged. Multicellular protobionts are not the direct precursors. DNA is a molecule and not a cellular precursor for eukaryotes. Bacteria are a type of prokaryote, but the more general term prokaryote is the better answer here as it encompasses archaea as well which are also involved in the evolutionary story.
