Which of the following combination is an example of self replicating organelles?

Correct answer: C. Mitochondria Chloroplast

  • A. Mitochondria Ribosomes
  • B. Mitochondria Nucleus
  • C. Mitochondria Chloroplast
  • D. Mitochondria Vacuole

Explanation

Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to produce some proteins and replicate independently within the cell. This semi-autonomous nature supports the endosymbiotic theory. Ribosomes do not self-replicate as organelles, and vacuoles lack their own genetic system, so option a is a common mistake.
