Mitochondria and choloroplast are :
I. semi-autonomous organelles.
II. formed by division of pre-existing  organelles and they contain DNA but lack protein synthesizing machinery. 

  • II is true but I is false

  • I is true but II is false

  • Both I and II are false

  • Both I and II are false


B.

I is true but II is false

Mitochondria and chloroplast have DNA and are capable of self-replication, thus they are semi-autonomous bodies

The organelles do synthesize some of protein and hence they have the protein synthesizing machinery. However, most of the proteins are derived from the nucleus.
