ike all eukaryotes, the protozoan Giardia has undergone lateral gene transfer as shown by the presence of the gene cpn60 in its nuclear genome. What does cpn60 do in Giardia? A. It has no known function. B. It codes for an essential transcription factor. C. It codes for a component of the electron transport chain. D. It codes for a molecular chaperone that aids in the folding of mitochondrial protein.

A. scientist discovered that eukaryotes are unicellular B. scientist discovered that eukaryotes have cell walls C. scientists discovered that some prokaryotes have cell walls D. scientists discovered that some prokaryotes live in extreme environments
Under the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of the eukaryotic cell. The ancestor of mitochondria and chloroplasts original became part of mutualism with a larger host cell. Which of the following best explains this mutualism? A) The mitochondria and chloroplasts provided specialized reproduction as part of the proto-germ line while the larger host cell provided energy for growth and reproduction. B) The mitochondria and chloroplasts provided gene products that could be used by the larger host cell for improved parasitization. C) The mitochondria and chloroplasts provided molecular energy in return for protection by the larger host cell. D) The mitochondria and chloroplasts produce toxins that the larger cell utilized to defend itself from other cells mutually increasing the defense of all those involved.
Select the statement that does NOT support the origin of excavates that lack plastids, have highly reduced mitochondria and are parasites: A. These parasites typically live in low-oxygen conditions and therefore loss of genes for plastids and mitochondria did not result in lower fitness B. The original, eukaryotic ancestors of these parasites did not engulf prokaryotes C. These parasites typically live in low-oxygen conditions, and many of their mitochondrial genes move to the nucleus
The hypercycle model explains which of the following? A) How the evolutionary transition from prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells through acquisiton of membrane bound organelles. B) How viruses first originated alongside cellular life through a hyper replicating RNA lineage. C) How individual replicating molecules like RNA, DNA, and proteins entered a molecular mutualism and became encapsulated forming protocells. D) How cycles of heat and electricity experimentally lead to the formation of amino acids in the lab.
A scientist discovered a new group of unicellular organisms that lack mitochondria but possess an organelle related to the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in energy production. The scientist hypothesizes that this organelle might be a missing link in the evolution of mitochondria. A) Do you agree with this hypothesis? Explain. B) Based on the available evidence, what is the most likely hypothesis for the origin of mitochondria? Provide four pieces of evidence to support this theory and justify why they are valid.
