Due to gene transfer between the organelles and the nucleus,
A)mitochondrial genomes in all species have the same genes.
B)a chloroplast from one plant species can be transferred to any other plant species.
C)mitochondria and chloroplasts have genes that allow them to live independently.
D)some proteins must be imported into organelles for their function.
E)organelle genomes experience lower rates of mutation than they would if gene transfer did not occur.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene transfer between organelles and the nucleus has led to a situation where many proteins required by mitochondria and chloroplasts are encoded by nuclear genes, necessitating their import into these organelles for proper function.
