Question

Chloroplasts and Golgi apparatus possess extrachromosomal DNA.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Extrachromosomal DNA is found outside of the nucleus of a cell. It is also referred to as extra nuclear DNA or cytoplasmic DNA. Most DNA in an individual genome make up the chromatin in the nucleus and is responsible for almost all cellular functions. However, DNA found outside the nucleus also serves important biological functions. Extrachromosomal DNA is found in chloroplasts and mitochondria.
