The endosymbiotic theory states that the mitochondria of eukaryotes are the evolutionary result of a Proto-eukaryotic cell engulfing an aerobic bacterium, which then evolved into the mitochondrion. Which characteristic of mitochondria supports this theory of development? A retention of a single layer membrane B retention of the chlorophyll pigments C retention of their own genome D retention of their own nucleus

The correct answer is - C. retention of their own genome.

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory is a theory that suggests that eukaryotic cells are developed from prokaryotic cells. According to this theory, organelles like mitochondria are developed in eukaryotic cells as the result of proteo-bacteria cells engulfing aerobic bacteria.

The evidence of this theory can be seen as the mitochondria has their own genome such as circular DNA and ribosomes as the prokaryotes.

d concave shape of wave rock

explanation:

the concave shape of wave rock is a very good evidence that supports the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering. if we talk about structure of   wave rock, studies have estimated that it is around 2.7 billion years old. it also serves as the foundation of evidence that it was the place where australian continent began to form.

how the structure of wave rock was created?

studies suggest that structure of wave rock was created when the surrounded area was started to weather due to which deposition of material started on the part of land which now contains wave rock.

the structure of wave rock is considered to be one of the best-known landforms in australia. at the height of around 15 cm, there can be found flared slopes which formulate the margins of hyden rock. it is now assumed by geologists that wave rock was created by subsurface water-induced weathering and not by glaciers, waves or wind.

due to deposition of material over the period of long time, the wave rock became tougher and tougher due to weathering from surrounding terrain. this makes it a physical evidence that supports   the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering.

hope it !

the cell cycle is the final answer! : )
