  • Mitochondria & Chloroplasts: Cell Organelles with Their Own DNA
    The two cell organelles that have their own DNA are:

    1. Mitochondria: These are often called the "powerhouses of the cell" because they are responsible for generating ATP, the cell's energy currency. They have their own circular DNA molecule, separate from the cell's nuclear DNA.

    2. Chloroplasts: Found in plant cells, these organelles are responsible for photosynthesis, the process of converting sunlight into energy. Like mitochondria, they have their own circular DNA molecule.
