    Which one of the following has its own DNA? [AIPMT (S) 2010]

    A) Mitochondria

    B) Dictyosome

    C) Lysosome

    D) Peroxisome

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [A] In mitochondria, the inner membrane space is filled with a matrix which contains dense granules   along   with   ribosomes   and mitochondrial DNA. The mitochondrial DNA is circular in nature. There number varies from 2-6. Besides DNA, a mitochondrion has RNA and its ribosomes also. Thus, a complete protein synthesizing machinery is present in mitochondria,    which    suggests    the semi-autonomous nature of mitochondria. Dictyosome, lysosome and peroxisome do not have their own DNA.
