The nucleus, chloroplast, and mitochondria have in common is that they are membrane-bound organelles in a cell.
The similarities of the genetic and protein synthesizing apparatus of mitochondria, chloroplasts and bacteria are certainly remarkable for their dissimilarity to the analogous systems of the rest of the eukaryotic cell. One major difference between the organelles and bacteria is the size of their genomes.
