Well, lysosomes contain hydrogen peroxide (very simplified version of lysosomes), and animals do not have cell walls.  Now chloroplasts is a bit tricky, because like mitochondira, chloroplasts have a genome separate of the cell it is inside; however, animals do not have chloroplasts.

So A?

anonymous · Answer

A are the lysosomes, which only have hydrogen peroxide in them.  The answer is the nucleus.

Thanks :D!

Lysosomes are small membrane bound organelles filled with chemicals to break things down, chloroplasts have their own genome and are not in animal cells, cell walls are not in animal cells and have no DNA in/on them.  Cell walls do have proteins and the like but not DNA.

In all Eukaryotic life, the organisms genome is in a membrane bound organelle called the nucleus.
