Question

Which one carries extra nuclear genetic material?

• A. Plastids
• B. Ribosomes
• C. Chromosomes
• D. Golgi -complex

Answer 1

The correct option is A Plastids

Extranuclear genetic material is a genetic material which is present in cytoplasmic organelles as plastids and mitochondria.

Both mitochondrial and plastid possess their own genetic material and ribosomes. The mitochondrial DNA and plastid DNA possess genes which produce the proteins necessary for the functioning of mitochondria and plastids respectively.

Ribosomes and golgi complex do not contain the genetic material.

Chromosomes are nuclear genetic material.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
