• Plastids have their own genetic materials as in plants cells contains genomes.

More about mitochondria and plastids :

Mitochondria :

• Mitochondria is discovered by Benda.
• Mitochondria has critae (critae are finger like projections).
• It is also known as power house of cell.
• Mitochondria are semi autonomous organelles.
