Question

question 3 of 10 which is used as evidence for the idea that eukaryotes formed from prokaryotes? a. prokaryotes are more complex than eukaryotes. b. eukaryotes are unicellular organisms. c. mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own dna. d. eukaryotes hold genetic information in dna.

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory suggests that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free - living prokaryotes that were engulfed by a larger cell. The fact that they have their own DNA supports the idea that eukaryotes formed from prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are less complex than eukaryotes, eukaryotes can be unicellular or multicellular, and both prokaryotes and eukaryotes hold genetic information in DNA.

Answer:

C. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA.
