Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the organelles involved in the general category of organelle heredity. They have their own DNA and are capable of replicating independently within the cell, which is different from other organelles. Lysosomes and peroxisomes are involved in the breakdown of cellular waste and metabolism, but they do not carry genetic information. Factors and episomes refer to extrachromosomal genetic elements that are not organelles. Golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein synthesis and modification, but they also do not carry genetic information. The nucleus contains the cell's main genetic material but is not an organelle involved in organelle heredity.
