The mitochondria contain their own DNA in plants and animals; and chloroplasts contain their own DNA in plants and other photosynthetic organisms. Both of these structures divide (almost like cells) inside the cells.

*This is also evidence for the theory of endosymbiosis, in which early cells ate early prokarotic cells (bacteria) and gained new organelles.
