choose the correct answer
1) What do the banded formations in marine sediments indicate?
A. Early cyanobacteria probably were producing oxygen when the sediment was deposited.
B. Purple sulfur bacteria were the dominant life form in the seas during that time.
D. The pH value of the early seas was quite low due to the excretion of organic acids from the fermentation by prokaryotes.
C. The early atmosphere was very reducing.
2) Which of the following is not evidence that chloroplasts and mitochondria originated as prokaryotic endosymbionts of larger cells?
A. They contain circular DNA molecules not associated with proteins.
B. Their membranes have enzymes and transport systems that resemble those found on the plasma membranes of prokaryotes.
D. Their ribosomal RNA is more similar to that of eubacteria than to the RNA of ribosomes in the eukaryotic cytoplasm.
C. They contain their own genome and produce all their own…
