    Question: Which of the following organelles does not have DNA?

    Options:

    Lysosome
    Chloroplast
    Nucleus
    Mitochondria

    ✅Explanation:
    -Lysosome: These are membrane-bound organelles responsible for breaking down cellular waste and foreign materials. They contain powerful enzymes but no DNA.
    -Chloroplast: Found in plant cells, chloroplasts contain their own DNA (chloroplast genome) separate from the nuclear DNA. This DNA codes for proteins involved in photosynthesis.
    -Nucleus: The central organelle of the cell, housing the main genetic material (chromosomes) in the form of DNA.
    -Mitochondria: These "powerhouses" of the cell have their own DNA (mitochondrial genome) that encodes proteins for energy production.

    🔴Related Terminologies::
    -Genome: The complete set of genetic material present in an organism.
    -Organelle genome: DNA molecules found within specific organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts.
    -Endosymbiotic theory: Proposes that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from bacteria that were engulfed by other cells and formed a symbiotic relationship.
