Answer
Option (ii) is correct.

Explanation

  • The nucleus holds the cell's main DNA.
  • Mitochondria also have their own DNA.
  • Chloroplasts have DNA too, but they are not in this pair.
  • So Mitochondria and Nucleus is the correct pair.
Nucleus and mitochondria both contain DNA.
Organelles with their Own DNA Both mitochondria and plastids (chloroplasts) contain their own DNA and ribosomes, so this is the pair that carries DNA.
← Back to concept: 2.3.1 Nucleus and mitochondria
