|
FALSE
|
|
|
Either A or B
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria and Plastids like Chloroplast have their own DNA and ribosomes because of which they are able to synthesize some of their own proteins and replicate independent of the nucleus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are self-replicating organelles that occur in various numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria contain their own genome that is separate and distinct from the nuclear genome of a cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria and plastids have their own DNA (genetic material).
Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleus, mitochondria, and plastid have DNA; Hence they are able to make their own structural proteins. No worries!
