Solution

The correct option is A Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
Chloroplast and mitochondria are called as semi autonomous organelles as they have single stranded DNA. The genes present in chloroplast and mitochondria follow cytoplasmic inheritance as compared to the nuclear genes that follow the Mendelian, biparental inheritance. This means that these genes are transmitted with cytoplasm. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
