Detailed explanation-1: -A major change occurring in the evolution of eukaryotes from prokaryotes was the development of: E) the nucleus. In eukaryotes, the nucleus is enclosed by a double membrane called the: B) nuclear envelope.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic cells also contain a variety of structures and organelles not present in prokaryotic cells. Throughout the course of evolution, organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts (a form of plastid) may have arisen from engulfed prokaryotes.
Detailed explanation-3: -eukaryotes evolved from a prokaryotic cell with a single bounding membrane that extended extracellular protrusions that fused to give rise to the cytoplasm and endomembrane system” [133]. It was these protrusions that surrounded the bacterial ancestors of mitochondria.
