There is a theory that chloroplast and mitochondria were independent organisms. Since they were, they would have their own DNA. And it is true that they do. It is interesting that you get your mitochondria from only your mother. There are many studies have used mtDNA to trace the evolution and migration of human species, including when the common ancestor to modern humans and Neanderthals lived.

What other organelle is missing from a humans cheek cell?

Human cheek cells, like other eukaryotic cells, are missing chloroplasts, which are organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants and some protists. Since cheek cells are part of animal tissue, they do not perform photosynthesis and therefore lack chloroplasts. Instead, they contain other organelles such as mitochondria for energy production and a nucleus for genetic material.


What structure is found in prokaryotic cell?

Prokaryotic cells lack any membrane bound organelles such as a nucleus, mitochondria, lysosomes, chloroplasts, golgi apparatus, etc. These membrane bound organelles are only found in eukaryotic cells.

Why must plant cells have both mitochondria and chloroplasts?

Plants need both mitochondria and chloroplasts to maintain a healthy plant. The mitochondria power the plant when the chlorophyll is stunted by lack of sunlight.


Do mitochondria and chloroplasts lack DNA?

Of course not,they have DNA.So they can self replicate.


Do archaea possess mitochondria?

No, archaea do not possess mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells, while archaea are a separate domain of single-celled microorganisms that lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria.
