Figure 1 Simplified diagram of cellular structures of Plasmodium falciparum

The eukaryotic protozoon parasite P falciparum is the causative agent of malaria P falciparum cells contain an organelle called the apicoplast (see Figure 1)

Apicoplasts synthesize precursors of biomolecules that are required for growth and
reproduction of the parasite

Based on Figure 1, describe TWO peces of evidence a researcher could use to support the claim that apicoplasts evolved from free-living, prokaryotic organisms
