Mitochondria and plastids have their own DNA (genetic material). What is known about their fate during division like mitosis ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both mitochondria and plastids have their own circular and naked DNA molecules due to which these organelles are capable of self-duplication during `G_(2)`, phase of nterphase. These organelles are equally distributed in the daughter cells formed by M-phase.
