\nMitochondria, often called the powerhouse of the cell, are organelles in eukaryotic cells that contain their own genetic material in the form of circular DNA.
\n<\/section>\n
\nEukaryotic cells have their primary DNA located in the nucleus. However, mitochondria (in animals, fungi, and plants) and chloroplasts (in plants and algae) also contain their own distinct DNA.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe presence of DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts supports the endosymbiotic theory, which suggests that these organelles originated from free-living prokaryotic organisms that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells. Lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, and Endoplasmic reticulum are other eukaryotic organelles but do not possess their own DNA.
