Assertion : Mitochondria and chloroplasts are semi-autonomous organelles.

Reason : They are formed by division of pre-existing organelles as well as contain DNA but lack protein synthesizing machinery.

  • If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion

  • If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If Assertion is true but Reason is false

  • If both Assertion and Reason are false


C.

If Assertion is true but Reason is false

Mitochondria and chloroplasts both are double membrane organelles. They are semi autonomous because both their structure and functions are partially controlled by nucleus and partially by themselves. Both the organelles have their own DNA and arise from pre-existing cells. Synthesis of many amino acids occur in mitochondria. Glutamic acid and Aspartic acid were the first amino acids. Plastids also manufacture some of its own proteins, enzymes and other chemicals because of the presence of 70S ribosomes which can help translate the coded information contained in mRNAs transcribed over chloroplast DNA.
