Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endosymbiotic theory is the most widely accepted hypothesis for the origin of the nuclear genome, suggesting that eukaryotic cells arose from a symbiotic relationship between different species of prokaryotes. This theory is supported by evidence such as the presence of double-membraned organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) with their own DNA, which are thought to have originated from free-living bacteria. The term "symbiotic relationship" is broader and can include endosymbiosis, so both terms are relevant in explaining the origin of the nuclear genome.
