Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three organelles in eukaryotic cells that have genetic material are the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. The endosymbiotic theory suggests that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living prokaryotes that were engulfed by a larger eukaryotic cell and formed a mutualistic relationship. Over time, the prokaryotic cells evolved into organelles within the eukaryotic host cell, carrying their own DNA and RNA. The nucleus, on the other hand, is believed to have evolved from the same ancestral line as archaea and bacteria, ultimately leading to the formation of eukaryotic cells.
