Solution

The correct option is A True
Mitochondria possess their own genetic material and ribosomes. The mitochondrial DNA possess genes which produce the proteins necessary for the functioning of mitochondria. They can self-replicate and form more copies of them. The DNA are double stranded and they can act as a vector which helps in the gene modification.
