Question

(True or False) mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA and ribosomes. Additionally they replicate somewhat independently inside their host cells.

 

Enzymes have a/an .............( which binds the substrate to convert it into the product.


-Minor grove
-Docking port
-Active site
-Catalyst
 

............. are biological macromolecules that are NOT polymeric.


-Polynucleotides
-Carbohydrates
-Lipids
-Proteins
Expert Solution
Step 1

1) mitochondria and chloroplast have their own genetic material . mitochondria is the powerhpuse of the cell making ATP and chloroplast helps in photosynthesis in plants . 

since they have thier own genetic material which is independedt of the genomic dna , and also protein making machinery consisting of ribosomes , they can undergo mitotic replication which is independt of the genomic dna . and evidence of this is the uniparental inheritance pattern , in which mitochondria is inherited into offspring only by mother . 

hence the given statement is true .
