Answer: a. Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own set of DNA.
Explanation:
The theory of endosymbiosis suggests that origin of mitochondria and chloroplast in eukaryotes were the individual primitive prokaryotic organisms. The mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA and protein synthesis was found similar to the bacteria. This provided the evidence for endosymbiotic hypothesis. It was determined that chloroplast as well as mitochondria divide independently in the cell where they live just like individual bacterial cell.
