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

 

Answer:

Mitochondria and Plastids are two organelles that have their own genetic material (DNA). 

  • They both contain ribosomes which means they can make their own proteins ( in mitochondria) or glucose (in plastids) and don't necessarily require it from another organelle .
