Chloroplasts, a type of plastid containing chlorophyll, perform photosynthesis within their internal grana and stroma, and possess their own DNA enabling self-replication.
Chloroplasts are plastids containing chlorophyll for photosynthesis, with internal structures called grana (stacks of thylakoids) within the stroma, and possess their own DNA for self-replication.
