Question

question 1 of 25 what did eukaryotes most likely evolve from? a. prokaryotes b. multicellular protobionts c. dna d. bacteria

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

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.

Answer:

A. Prokaryotes
