Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 11CT
The endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from prokaryotes living within other prokaryotes (see p. 87). What aspects of the eukaryotic genome support this theory? What aspects do not support the theory?

Is the statement "Nucleic acids are found in the nucleoid region of prokaryotes" incorrect or correct?
What are the two major hypotheses for the evolutionary history of introns in prokaryotes and eukaryotes? What is the evidence supporting each of these possibilities? What kind of additional evidence, if available, could help resolve this debate?
Why is it reasonable that eukaryotes have aDNA polymerase (Pol ) that operates only in mitochondria?
