Mitochondria have their own DNA as they are believed to have been separate organisms , until they started living in symbiosis with our ancestor cells .

Lysosomes are known as suicide bags of the cell because they contain lytic enzymes capable of digesting cells and unwanted materials. When lysosomes burst, the lytic enzymes within the organelle spill all over the cell, destroying the cell membrane or cell wall and inducing the death of the cell and killing the lysosomes . This is like a sacrifice or suicide so its called the suicide bag of the cell .

Protoplasm is basically the the whole liquid material in the cell i.e, cytoplasm

So the answer is None of the above are Incorrect

@Vinayak Srivastava - This is a long explanation, so I bolded the important words to make it easier and quicker to read :)

Protoplasm is all living matter, cytoplasm is only the fluid part. The answer is wrong.

That was the old term. The new term Protoplasm is same as Cytoplasm :)

Ok, my book differs, so I will learn what my book writes.

I think you forgot to add "are incorrect" to the correct answer of "None of the above". Most people who read, "None of the above" will assume you mean "None of the above are correct". Or just change it to "All of the above are correct."

I mean honestly, we don't need an explanation for biology. Does anyone agree?

@Vinayak Srivastava was saying that Brilliant doesn't have Biology problems, so I made a series :)

Biology can have explanations sometimes, like my explanation of elimination in my solution @I Love Brilliant
