Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that eukaryotic cells have several organelles, each with specific functions and characteristics.
Recall that most DNA in eukaryotic cells is located in the nucleus, which contains the nuclear genome.
Identify that some organelles, like mitochondria and chloroplasts, have their own DNA separate from the nuclear genome.
Recognize that the rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes do not contain their own DNA.
Conclude that the mitochondrion is the organelle that contains its own DNA, which is important for its role in energy production and cellular respiration.
