Yes. They are thought to be bacteria that were captured by a plant cell early in the evolution of plants and they still contain some of their own DNA. Most of the genes that the chloroplast uses is now coded for by the plants nuclear DNA.

Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Mitochondria DNA is circular, similar to bacterial DNA, and is inherited maternally. Chloroplasts also have circular DNA and are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient prokaryotes.


What two organelles can have DNA?
