Which of the given cell organelles do not contain DNA?

A. Mitochondria

B. Chloroplast

C. Golgi complex

D. Lysosome

The correct ones are

Solution:

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are semi-autonomous organelles that contain their own genetic material, specifically circular DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes, allowing them to synthesize some of their own proteins. This is often cited as evidence supporting the endosymbiotic theory.

On the other hand, the Golgi complex (or Golgi apparatus) is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes. Neither the Golgi complex nor lysosomes contain their own DNA. Their proteins are synthesized on ribosomes in the cytoplasm and then processed and transported.

Therefore, the cell organelles that do not contain DNA are the Golgi complex and Lysosome.
