Mitochondria and chloroplasts. The question asks for organelles with their OWN genetic material. The material from the nucleus already belongs to the cell. Those two evolved from symbiotic prokaryotes and maintain their own DNA.

Which organelles outside the cell nucleus contain genetic material?

chloroplasts and mitochondriaThey have their own DNA and can also reproduce by themselves inside the cell. That is why many scientist believe that the were once individual cells.


Which organelles contain DNA?

The nucleus and mitochondria are organelles that contain DNA. The nucleus contains the majority of the cell's DNA, while mitochondria have their own independent DNA apart from the cell's nuclear DNA.


What 2 organelles contain their own DNA besides the nucleus?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the two organelles that contain their own DNA in addition to the nucleus. This DNA is separate from the nuclear DNA and is involved in the organelles' functions, such as energy production in mitochondria and photosynthesis in chloroplasts.


Where in the nucleus is the genetic material found?

Genetic material, composed of DNA that is packaged into string-like structures called chromatin, makes up a region called the nucleolus, which is inside the nucleus of a cell.In eukaryotes, the genetic material is found within the nucleus of the cell in a form of chromatins. In prokaryotes, the genetic material is suspended in a region known as nucleoid and also contains circular DNA called plasmids.


What is the location of genetic material?

Genetic material is located inside the nucleus of a cell, organized into structures called chromosomes. In eukaryotic cells, the genetic material can also be found in organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. In prokaryotic cells, genetic material is usually found in a single circular chromosome in the nucleoid region.

What do chloroplats and mitochondria have that the other organelles lack?

Their own set of genetic material still capable of coding for a few proteins which these organelles use. In a circular form that indicates their bacterial origins.

Which organelles outside the cell nucleus contain genetic information?

Both the mitochondria and chloroplasts (in plants) of eukaryotic cells contain their own genetic information. This is leftover from what is thought to be a symbiosis in early eukaryotic cells. It is assumed that these organelles were originally completely separate organisms, which found their way into larger organisms' cells due to the advantageous symbiotic relationship they could offer each other. Having compartments in cells turned out to be a massive evolutionary advantage, as it meant more complex, more specialised and more efficient reactions could take place in different organelles, where the conditions could be varied to suit the enzymes. Although much of the DNA (genetic material) that was originally in these organelles has now found its way into the host cell's nucleus with the rest of the cell's DNA, there is some still left in the organelles. Indeed, they still produce a few proteins themselves using this genetic material, but they also require the other proteins that are synthesised in the rest of the eukaryotic cell.
