Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Chloroplasts and mitochondria originated from ____ by a process known as ____
A
plants / endosymbiosis
B
plants / gene deletion
C
bacteria / chromosome reduction
D
bacteria / endosymbiosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A symbiotic relationship where one organism lives inside the other is known as endosymbiosis. Primary endosymbiosis refers to the original internalization of prokaryotes by an ancestral eukaryotic cell, resulting in the formation of the mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria and chloroplast are the organelles which possess their own DNA and ribosomes and considered as endosymbionts of a cell. They are originated by the endosymbiosis fro proteobacteria and cyanobacteria respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Endosymbiotic Theory There is compelling evidence that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once primitive bacterial cells. This evidence is described in the endosymbiotic theory. How did this theory get its name? Symbiosis occurs when two different species benefit from living and working together.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the Endosymbiotic Theory, endosymbiosis became the means by which organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotic cells came about.
