Which among the following cell organelles has its own genetic material and ribosomes?

The correct answer is Option 1.Key PointsMitochondria:

• It is considered the cell's powerhouse.
• Mitochondria have two membranes that cover them.
• The exterior membrane is permeable, whereas the inner membrane is strongly folded.
• These folds improve the surface area available for ATP-producing chemical processes.
• The mitochondrial energy is released in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) molecules.
• ATP is known as the cell's energy currency.
• They have their own DNA and ribosomes. Hence, option 1 is correct.
• As a result, mitochondria can produce some of their own proteins.

Additional InformationChloroplast:

• Chromoplasts that carry the pigment chlorophyll are known as Chloroplast.
• Plants rely on chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
• In addition to chlorophyll, chloroplasts contain a variety of yellow or orange pigments.
• Its consists of multiple membrane layers embedded in a substance known as the stroma.
• Plastids, like mitochondria, have their own DNA and ribosomes.
