Eukaryotes are sometimes termed nature’s master builders. Why is this a more apt description for members of the Eukaryotic branch tree of life than Prokaryotic branches life?
The endosymbiotic theory argues that prokaryotes become some of the organelles of early eukaryotic cells. All of the following support this hypothesis Except: A. The mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA and are nearly idential to some free-living prokaryotes b. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are nearly idential to some free-living prokaryotes. c. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA d. The vacuoles can come and go across the plasma membrane
Why do cells undergo mitosis rather than meiosis to produce cells for growth and repair? please solve with complete explanation
What makes the mitochondrion and chloroplast unique among theorganelles?
in 1967, Lynn Margulis developed the endosymbiotic theory. As seen in the diagram below, the endosymbiotic theory describes how over thousands of years, free-living prokaryotes formed living communities inside larger ancestral prokaryotic cells. Today, we identify those early free-living prokaryotes as the mitochondria, chioroplasts, and possibly other organelles. Endesymbietic Theery How did the development of Margulis' theory aid in our understanding of how complex organisms came into existence? A. It provided an explanation as to why prokaryotic cells do not have a nucdeus. B. It provides an explanation as to why bacteria and mitochondria are similar in size. C. It provides an explanation of how life today could have originated from a single cell. D. It provides an explanation of how prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells use oxygen to work.

Based on the presence of mitochondria and chloroplast within eukaryotic cells, what organelle do you think originated within eukaryotic cells first: mitochondria or chloroplast? Why?
What is the endosymbiotic hypothesis about the origin of mitochondria? What are the molecular facts that support the hypothesis? To which other cellular organelles can the hypothesis also be applied?
Choose a type of bias that was not one of the three main types of bias discussed in the video (sampling bias, measurement bias, or confirmation bias). Then briefly explain how that type of bias can influence research studies. Review this brief video https://youtu.be/BNICMrYtPJY?si=jj7CMzSCHQbADH6y
