The correct Answer is:
To determine which cell organelles contain DNA, we need to analyze the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding DNA in Cells**: - DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material found in cells. In eukaryotic cells, DNA is primarily located in the nucleus, but it can also be found in certain organelles. 2. **Identifying Organelles with DNA**: - **Mitochondria**: These are known as the powerhouse of the cell and contain their own DNA, which is circular and resembles prokaryotic DNA. - **Chloroplasts**: Found in plant cells, chloroplasts also contain their own DNA, similar to that of mitochondria. - **Peroxisomes**: These organelles do not contain DNA. - **Plasma Membrane**: This is a lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and does not contain DNA. - **Ribosomes**: These are the sites of protein synthesis and do not contain DNA. - **Dictyosomes (Golgi apparatus)**: These organelles are involved in modifying and packaging proteins and do not contain DNA. 3. **Conclusion**: - The organelles that contain DNA are **mitochondria** and **chloroplasts**. Therefore, the correct answer is the set that includes these two organelles. ### Final Answer: The organelles that contain DNA are **mitochondria and chloroplasts**. ---
