It is an example of semi autonomous organelle found in both animal and plant cells:
Correct answer: D. Mitochondria
- A. Endoplasmic reticulum
- B. Chloroplast
- C. Golgi apparatus
- D. Mitochondria
Explanation
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are both considered semi-autonomous organelles, as they have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes. Mitochondria are present in both plant and animal cells, but chloroplasts are present in autotrophic eukaryotes only.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
