Which statement does not support the endosymbiotic theory?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts reproduce independently from the cell.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own ribosomes.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have DNA that resembles bacterial DNA.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are much larger than prokaryotic cells.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are much larger than prokaryotic cells.
The statement that does not support the endosymbiotic theory is "Mitochondria and chloroplasts are much larger than prokaryotic cells." According to the endosymbiotic theory, mitochondria and chloroplasts originated as free-living prokaryotic cells that were engulfed by a host cell. Over time, these prokaryotic cells established a symbiotic relationship with the host cell, leading to the development of mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotic cells. The size of mitochondria and chloroplasts is similar to that of prokaryotic cells, which supports the theory.
