Solution
The correct option is B False
Mitochondria of the eukaryotes resemble the structure of a prokaryotic cell. As per the endosymbiotic theory, they were free-living bacteria once but got into the eukaryotic cell and lost most of their functions to the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell. Mitochondria have a double-stranded DNA which is not enclosed within the membrane. Their ribosomes are of 70s types, similar to those found in prokaryotes. Hence, the correct answer is 'False'
