In animal cells, the organelle that has its own DNA is mitochondria. However the main DNA and chromosomes are located in the nucleus of the cell which are responsible for cellular reproduction. In plant cells the plastids as well as mitochondria has DNA but in this case also the nucleus has the main DNA. It should be noted that plastids are prsent only in the plant cells

What organelle also stores DNA?

The nucleus contains most of the DNA in a cell and this DNA is called the chromosomal DNA. It is separated from the rest of the cell by a double layer of membrane. The mitochondria also contain DNA, called the mitochondrial DNA.


Is DNA considered an organelle?

No, DNA is not considered an organelle. DNA is a molecule found in the nucleus of cells and contains the genetic information necessary for the development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms. Organelles are specialized structures within cells that have specific functions.

What are Extra-chromosomal DNA particles capable of independent replication are called?

Extra-chromosomal DNA particles capable of independent replication are called plasmids. Plasmids are circular DNA molecules found in bacteria that can replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA. They often carry additional genes that can provide advantages to the bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance.
