Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the only two organelles of animal and plant cells that contain their own DNA. They not only contain their own DNA, but they also have their own ribosomes. These little protein-making machines are given information from the DNA to build certain proteins.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are believed to be bacterial endosymbionts of cells because
-
They have their own nucleic acids.
-
Their membranes resemble those of cyanobacteria.
-
They do arise de novo.
-
All of the above.
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are the only cell organelles other than nucleus coated with double membrane. They have their own DNA and protein synthesizing machinery as well. One explanation for a cell organelle to have its own DNA is that these organelles were separate organisms. The chloroplast was an autotrophic cyanobacteria and the mitochondria was a separate heterotrophic organism which later on became lodged into a eukaryotic cell as endosymbionts.
Extranuclear inheritance is a consequence of presence of genes in
-
Lysosomes and ribosomes
-
Mitochondria and chloroplasts
-
Endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria
-
Ribosomes and chloroplast
Which of the following is an incorrect statement about the possible endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria?
-
They are of appropriate size to be descendants of bacteria
-
They contain their own genome and produce all their own proteins
-
They contain circular DNA molecules not associated with histones
-
Their membranes have enzymes and transport systems that resemble those found in the plasma membranes of prokaryotes
A prokaryotic cell lacks
-
Cell wall
-
Cell membrane
-
Cytoplasm
-
Nucleolus
A prokaryotic cell lacks a nucleolus. A prokaryote is a single-celled organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelles. All the intracellular water-soluble components are located together in the same volume enclosed by the cell membrane, rather than in separate cellular compartments.
