Question

Name two organelles that contains their own genetic material.

Answer 1

Organelles containing their own genetic material:

1. Chloroplast and mitochondria are the only two organelles that contain their own genetic material.
2. Besides containing genetic material they also contain 70S type ribosome, own enzymes and some amount of RNA as well.
3. They can also undergo fission themselves and thus can multiply themselves.
4. This is why these two organelles are called semi-autonomous organelles.
