Best Answer

Mitochondria and chloroplasts used to be free-living. They used to be prokaryotes, but they got enveloped by other prokaryotes and their membrane became a double membrane because the first one stayed and the second one came from it being enveloped. Their DNA is also similar to prokaryote DNA. Their original cell membrane is also similar to a prokaryote's cell membrane.
