Solution
The correct option is D Mitochondria
Mitochondria and chloroplast both have:
A double membrane surrounding the organelles.
Purportedly prokaryotic origins according to the endosymbiotic theory which suggests that mitochondria and chloroplast were once prokaryotic bacteria engulfed by endocytosis in early eukaryotes.
Their own circular DNA which codes for certain enzymes required for the chemical reactions that take place in these organelles.
Their own 70S ribosomes made up of 50S and 30S subunits to translate proteins
The enzyme ATP synthase which utilizes the energy released from the movement of protons across it (proton-motive force) to phosphorylate ADP to ATP. (Thus, another similarity would be that they both produce ATP)
Electron transport chains, which are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane and thylakoid membrane in mitochondria and chloroplasts respectively.
