Question

list at least 5 examples of evidence that supports the theory of endosymbiosis.

Explanation:

1. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA, similar to prokaryotes.
2. They reproduce by binary - fission like prokaryotes.
3. Have ribosomes similar to prokaryotic ribosomes in size and structure.
4. Inner membranes have a different composition from the outer cell membrane, suggesting a different origin.
5. Their genomes are circular, like those of prokaryotes.

Answer:

1. Own DNA like prokaryotes.
2. Reproduce by binary - fission.
3. Prokaryote - like ribosomes.
4. Distinct inner membrane composition.
5. Circular genomes.
