Question

Can you name two organelles we have studied that contain their own genetic material?

Answer 1

Hint:Organelle is the part of cell biology and it is the unique subunit which is present inside the cell and having its own specific functions. Organelles word comes in picture because it is the part and cell like the organ is for the body and elle means diminutive.

Complete answer:
->Organelles are two types: membrane bound and non membrane bound.
->Membrane bound organelle enclosed within its own lipid bilayers.
->Non membrane bound organelle are not having the lipid layer around.).
->Mostly all the organelles are the part of the cell but some of the functional units are elongated outside like cilia, flagellum, archaellum and trichocyst.
->Organelles are separated by seeing through the microscope.
->Organelles in eukaryotic cells, nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, mitochondria and plastids. On the other hand prokaryotes do not have eukaryotic organelles.
->Cell compartments that contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), there would only be two broad classes of organelles that contain their own DNA, and have originated from endosymbiotic bacteria.
->Mitochondria and plastids are the two organelles that contain their own genetic material and have their own DNA and ribosomes.

Note: Mitochondria is present in almost all eukaryotes.
->Plastids present in plants, algae, and some protists).
->Some other organelles also originated endosymbiotic origins, but they do not contain their own DNA and genetic material like flagellum.
