The correct Answer is:
To determine which pair of organelles does not contain DNA, we can analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organelles in Each Pair**: - Pair 1: Mitochondria and Lysosomes - Pair 2: Chloroplast and Vacuole - Pair 3: Lysosomes and Vacuole - Pair 4: Nuclear Membrane and Mitochondria 2. **Check for DNA Presence in Each Organelle**: - **Mitochondria**: Known as the powerhouse of the cell, mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA). - **Lysosomes**: These organelles are involved in digestion and waste removal but do not contain DNA. - **Chloroplasts**: These organelles are responsible for photosynthesis and also contain their own DNA. - **Vacuoles**: Generally involved in storage and do not contain DNA. - **Nuclear Membrane**: This surrounds the nucleus, which contains the cell's DNA. 3. **Analyze Each Pair**: - **Pair 1 (Mitochondria and Lysosomes)**: Mitochondria have DNA, but lysosomes do not. So, this pair contains one organelle with DNA. - **Pair 2 (Chloroplast and Vacuole)**: Chloroplasts have DNA, but vacuoles do not. This pair also contains one organelle with DNA. - **Pair 3 (Lysosomes and Vacuole)**: Both lysosomes and vacuoles do not have DNA. This pair contains no organelles with DNA. - **Pair 4 (Nuclear Membrane and Mitochondria)**: Both have DNA (nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus which contains DNA, and mitochondria have their own DNA). 4. **Conclusion**: The only pair that does not contain any organelles with DNA is **Pair 3: Lysosomes and Vacuole**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **C: Lysosomes and Vacuole**.
