Answer #1

Ans: option A,B are correct answer.

According to endosymbiotic hypothesis, the mitochondria, chloroplast and possibly other organelles of eukaryotic cells are descended from free living photosynthetic prokaryotes.

  • The eukaryotic cells engulfed the prokaryotic cells in the process of evolution which didn't get digested and there established a symbiotic relationship between them.
  • The organelles lost their cell wall and DNA and thus were dependent for benefit.
  • "endo" in endosymbiotic means "within the cell".
  • Thus option A,B are correct.
