Question

Which of the following feature is not similar in mitochondria and chloroplast?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Both are present in animal cells

The correct option is D.

Explanation for correct option:

1. Chloroplast is present only in plant cells, that use the photosynthetic process to change light energy into relatively stable chemical energy.
2. They maintain life on Earth in this way.
3. Additionally, chloroplasts offer a variety of metabolic functions for plant cells.
4. On the other hand, mitochondria are present in both animal cells and plant cells that helps in production of ATPs in both type.

Explanation for incorrect option:

Option A:

1. Both are present in the eukaryotic cell.
2. For instance, the chloroplast is present in plant cells, and mitochondria are present in animal cells, of which both are eukaryotic cells.

Option B:

Both chloroplast and mitochondria have some genetic material in the form of DNA.

Option C:

As both are present in the eukaryotic cell, they are present in eukaryotic organisms.

Final answer: Both are present in animal cells is the feature which is not similar in mitochondria and chloroplast.
