Organelle Other Than Nucleus Containing DNA is (A) Endoplasmic reticulum (B) Golgi apparatus (C) Mitochondria (D) Lysosome

Answer: C) Mitochondria

Explanation

The nucleus is the only organelle that contains DNA; the rest of the cell’s components, including mitochondria, do not. In contrast to chromosomal DNA, which is found in the nucleolus, the nucleic material in mitochondria is called mitochondrial DNA. This mitochondrial DNA has been preserved for many centuries because it has not been destroyed. The mitochondrial DNA is what is used for phylogenetic analysis.

• The mitochondrion is a double-membraned rod-shaped structure and can be found in both plant and animal cells.
• Depending on its size, its diameter can be anywhere between 0.5 and 1.0 micrometres.
• The structure is made up of an outer membrane, an inner membrane, and a substance similar to gel and is referred to as the matrix.
