Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option - 1. Chloroplasts and mitochondria replicate in a similar manner as some prokaryotes.

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory says that two eukaryotic cell organelles mitochondria and chloroplast have some prokaryotic especially bacteria-like characteristics and it also said that they are evolved from the symbiotic bacteria, mitochondria from alpha proteobacteria and chloroplast from cyanobacteria.

Thus, the correct answer is option A. Chloroplasts and mitochondria replicate in a similar manner as some prokaryotes.
