The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "The cell organelle which has DNA is," we will analyze the options provided and identify the correct organelle that contains DNA. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for a cell organelle that contains DNA. DNA is the genetic material found in cells. 2. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option 1: Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)**: - The endoplasmic reticulum has two types: rough ER and smooth ER. - Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis. - **Conclusion**: ER does not contain DNA. - **Option 2: Golgi Complex**: - The Golgi complex is responsible for sorting and packaging proteins. - **Conclusion**: The Golgi complex does not contain DNA. - **Option 3: Lysosome**: - Lysosomes are known as "suicidal bags" because they break down large molecules and remove worn-out cell parts. - **Conclusion**: Lysosomes do not contain DNA. - **Option 4: Mitochondria**: - Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell and are involved in energy production. - Importantly, mitochondria have their own DNA (mtDNA), which is separate from the nuclear DNA found in the cell nucleus. - **Conclusion**: Mitochondria contain DNA. 3. **Final Answer**: Based on the evaluation of all options, the correct answer is **Mitochondria** (Option 4).
