    We can say the endosymbiotic theory is the results of the mitochondria of a symbiosis which is between an alpha-proteobacterium and pro-eukaryotic material-DAN (small genome), but the other organelles of eukaryotic cells do not contain genome which is located in the nucleus for other different processes of life.

    Mitochondria as a symbiont have similarities with plastid DNA of bacteria sequence in a phylogenetic tree. In addition, this is a prove that mitochondria originate from a group of bacteria which is known as alphaproteobacteria.
