Many aspects of the transcription and translation of cpDNA are similar to those of eubacteria. Chloroplast DNA sequences are most similar to DNA sequences in cyanobacteria, which supports the endosymbiotic theory. Most cpDNA evolves slowly in sequence and structure.
-Which characteristic does not apply to chloroplast DNA or mRNA?
A) Promoters are similar to eubacterial promoters.
B) Genes in cpDNA are transcribed in groups.
C) Many chloroplast mRNAs have Shine-Dalgarno sequences.
D) Poly(A) tails are added to chloroplast mRNAs
