Ou just read an article on the Endosymbiotic Theory. Based on what you read, what is the importance of the Endosymbiotic Theory?

The endosymbiotic theory suggests that eukaryotic organisms evolve from primitive prokaryotic organisms.

Explanation:

According to the endosymbiotic theory the organelles like mitochondria and chloroplast in the eukaryotic cells have arisen from aerobic bacteria. The aerobic bacteria being prokaryotic cell was consumed by the anaerobic bacteria or prokaryotic cell.

The following are the evidences of the origin of eukaryotic organisms from prokaryotic organisms:

1. The chloroplast and mitochondria have circular DNA like bacteria.

2. The mitochondria and chloroplast reproduce through binary fission which also occurs in bacteria.
