MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Endosymbiotic theory had supported the fact that mitochondria have evolved in eukaryotes by the symbiotic association of bacteria. Mitochondria and bacteria differ in size is incorrect as the size of mitochondria and bacteria is approximately same.

Detailed explanation-2: -Single stranded, circular DNA is found exclusively in prokaryotes. This evidence supports the endosymbiosis theory because these characteristics would allow the mitochondria and chloroplasts to survive on their own.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Bacteria, a prokaryote, has circular DNA, as do mitochondria and chloroplasts. This provides support for the Endosymbiotic Theory, which states that the mitochondria and chloroplast in eukaryotic cells were once aerobic bacteria (prokaryote) that were ingested by a large anaerobic bacteria (prokaryote).

Detailed explanation-4: -Membranes-Mitochondria have their own cell membranes, just like a prokaryotic cell does. DNA-Each mitochondrion has its own circular DNA genome, like a bacteria’s genome, but much smaller. Reproduction-Mitochondria multiply by pinching in half-the same process used by bacteria.
