Beau · Answer 1

Their chloroplasts contain DNA that is similar to that of

prokaryotes

Explanation:

This is based on the theory that the membrane bound organelles of chloroplast and mitochondria which are peculiar to Eukaryotas evolved from bacteria by endosymbiosis. Thus bacteria contain the DNA of these organism Evidently, these organism (Eukaryotas) must have cohabited with bacteriA some time ago
