Question

Which of the following is not common in chloroplasts and mitochondria?

• A. Both are present in animal cells.
• B. Both contains their own genetic material.
• C. Both are present in eukaryotic cells.
• D. Both are present in plant cells.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both are present in animal cells.

Extrachromosomal DNA is any DNA that is found outside of the nucleus of a cell. It is also referred to as extranuclear DNA or cytoplasmic DNA. This extra chromosomal DNA is present in both mitochondria and chloroplast. Chloroplast and mitochondria are present in the plant cell but chloroplast is absent in the animal cell. They both are present in eukaryotic cells.
