\nIn eukaryotic cells, besides the nucleus, mitochondria (and chloroplasts in plant cells) contain their own DNA (typically circular), ribosomes (different from cytoplasmic ribosomes), and the machinery for synthesizing some of their own proteins. This makes them semi-autonomous organelles.
\n<\/section>\n
\nMitochondria are organelles responsible for cellular respiration and ATP production. The presence of their own genetic material and protein synthesis machinery is strong evidence supporting the endosymbiotic theory, which posits that mitochondria evolved from free-living prokaryotic organisms that were engulfed by early eukaryotic cells.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and nucleosomes (which are part of the chromatin structure within the nucleus and mitochondria\/chloroplasts) do not possess their own independent DNA or ribosomes and are not capable of synthesizing proteins independently of the cytoplasmic protein synthesis machinery directed by nuclear DNA.
