Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Circular DNA similar to plasmids ⚹ ⚹ Membrane-bound ribosomes ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Similarity in DNA ⋮ Mitochondria have their own DNA, which is circular and resembles bacterial plasmids, indicating a shared evolutionary history. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Ribosomes ⋮ Mitochondria contain ribosomes that are similar in size and structure to bacterial ribosomes, which are different from the ribosomes found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Endosymbiotic Theory ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The similarities between mitochondria and bacteria support the endosymbiotic theory, which suggests that mitochondria originated from free-living bacteria that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells. ⚹◊What specific cellular structures make mitochondria similar to bacteria?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
