Question

Explain the evidence that supports the endsymbiotic theory of chloroplasts and mitochondria

Answer 1

Mitochondria and chloroplasts cannot grow outside their host cell. Evidence for this is based on the following: Chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells, divide by binary fission, and, like bacteria, have Fts proteins at their division plane.

Answer 2
