If eukaryotes all came about due to endosymbiosis, what would result from that? (1 point)

• ancient prokaryotes living inside of modern eukaryotes
• similar structures in eukaryotes with slight variations depending on their use
• preserved DNA from the original ancestor that remains unchanged
• every organism would have the same set of body systems and functions

1 answer

The most accurate result from the concept of endosymbiosis leading to the evolution of eukaryotes would be:

• similar structures in eukaryotes with slight variations depending on their use

This option reflects the idea that eukaryotic cells have organelles (like mitochondria and chloroplasts) that originated from prokaryotic ancestors, and while they share commonalities, they can vary in structure and function depending on the specific needs of the organism.
