Q

Endosymbiosis theory

A

mitochondria and chloroplast were once free-living bacteria engulfed by ancestor of modern eukaryotes but were not destroyed instead mutually beneficial relationship evolved

Because both:
Mitochondria have their own mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
Grow and divide independently of cell division
Manufacture their own ribosomes
