No, ribosomes do not contain DNA. DNA is found within the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts of a cell, and nowhere else.

Ribosomes contain RNA and proteins.

Mitochondria contain their own so they can produce their own proteins?

Mitochondria contain their own DNA and ribosomes so they can produce some of their own proteins, particularly those essential for their function in generating energy through cellular respiration. This allows mitochondria to regulate their own processes independently of the cell's nuclear DNA.


How are prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells similar?

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are similar in that they both contain DNA as their genetic material and have a cell membrane that encloses the cell. Both types of cells also contain ribosomes for protein synthesis.


Contains its own DNA and ribosomes?

Mitochondria contain their own DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to carry out the process of protein synthesis independently of the cell's nucleus. This is thought to be a result of their evolutionary origins as symbiotic bacteria within eukaryotic cells.


What organelle contains its own DNA and ribosomes?

Mitochondria because it's a separate bateria that somehow merged with the cell's in a mutualistic form. All lifeform have it's own DNA in order to reproduce. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are enclosed by membranes, thery are not part of the endomembrane system. Their membrane proteins are made not by the ER, but by free ribosomes in the cytosol and by ribosomes contained within the mitochondria and chloroplasts themselves. Not only do these organelles have ribosomes, but they also contain a small amount of DNA. It is this DNA that programs the synthesis of the proteins made on the organelle's own ribosomes.


What do all cells have in common?

They all Contain DNA

What do eukaryote cells and prokaryotic cells have?

Both are enclosed by plasma membranes, have ribosomes, have DNA, and contain cytoplasm. Hope that helps :)


Does archeae contain ribosomes?

Yes archeae contain ribosomes.They have 80s ribosomes in them.


Does an animal mitochondrion contain functional ribosomes?

Yes, chloroplasts, like mitochondria, contain ribosomes.Chloroplasts also contain DNA, and synthesize messenger RNA by transcription. Polypeptides are formed at the ribosomes.These ribosomes are more or less like those of modern prokaryotic cells; this is one of the facts that supports the theory that chloroplasts and mitochondria evolved from ancestral free-living prokaryotic organisms.
