No, the Golgi apparatus does not contain DNA.
The Golgi apparatus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that plays a crucial role in:
- Transporting molecules
- Modifying molecules
- Packaging molecules
These molecules are produced within the cell. Unlike other organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, the Golgi apparatus lacks its own DNA. This is a key distinction in understanding the organelle's function and origin.
| Feature | Golgi Apparatus | Mitochondria/Chloroplasts |
