Answer: Chloroplasts and mitochondria

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea is because chloroplast and mitochondria look pretty similar to some bacteria and because they have their own strands of RNA that they were bacteria that were symbiotically engulfed and carried around by a larger cell and they stuck together until the present-day arrangement.
