The endosymbiont theory is an explanation for some of the changes that occurred between the earliest cells on Earth and current cells on Earth. This theory, which is supported by a vast amount of scientific evidence, explains that mitochondria and chloroplasts had their origins as free-living organisms that were later incorporated into cells. How might further evidence change this theory?

A) If more evidence supports the endosymbiont theory, it will become a scientific hypothesis.
B) If more evidence supports the endosymbiont theory, it will become a scientific law.
C) Evidence that does not support the theory will be disregarded because theories cannot be revised.
D) Evidence that does not support the theory could cause the theory to be revised


Ans: D) Evidence that does not support the theory could cause the theory to be revised
