Discuss three findings that support the theory of primary endosymbiosis

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Possible answer topics could include any three of the following: antibiotics that disrupt the 70S ribosomes of Bacteria also disrupt protein synthesis in chloroplasts and mitochondria; chloroplast and mitochondrial ribosomes are 70S just as other prokaryotes; eukaryotic nuclei contain genes derived from Bacteria; hydrogenosomes are thought to be divergent mitochondria and they, too, contain genes found in Bacteria; mitochondria and chloroplasts contain DNA in the same form as bacteria (covalently closed circular DNA); and rRNA gene sequencing group chloroplasts and mitochondria with Bacteria.
