They have their own circular DNA and replicate by binary fission independent of mitosis. Chloraplasts and peroxisomes (also part of the endysymbiotic theory) do the same. Less is known of peroxisomes so you might want to leave out that part.

The endosymbiotic theory argues that mitochondria, plastids (e.g. chloroplasts), and possibly other organelles of eukaryotic cells, originate through symbiosis between multiple micro-organisms. According to this theory, certain organelles originated as free-living bacteria that were taken inside another cell as endosymbionts. Mitochondria developed from proteobacteria (in particular, Rickettsiales, the SAR11 clade,[1][2] or close relatives) and chloroplasts from
