∙ 11y agomitochondrial dna is not changed when passed to offspring. dna in the nucleus can be changed due to dominant and recessive traits.

Is there a cell in humans that don't have DNA?
No. Not all cells have a nucleus, which contains nuclear DNA; but all cells have mitochondria, which have their own DNA, called mitochondrial DNA, or mDNA. In humans, the cells that lack a nucleus and therefore nuclear DNA, are mature red blood cells, but they do have mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA.
Where are the 2 places you will find DNA in a cell?
It is found in the nucleus. the nucleus is the brain of the cell
Why don't plants have a nucleus?
nucleus are for cells. plants themselves dont have a nucleus, but the cells that make them up do. a plant doesnt need a nucleus. tecnicly speeking, you cant prove a negative, so its hard to answer your question. if you had a hypothisis of why a plant should have a nucleus, that would be good to put up as a question, but its tough to answer your question as is. Plants have multiple cells, and the cells have nuclei. (Nuclei is plural for nucleus).
What do you think researchers discovered in the mitochondrial DNA taken from the heart cells of older adults?
There are more mitochondria in cells that need a lot of energy, such as heart muscle cells. Some researchers are studying mitochondrial DNA in the heart cells of different age groups.
Is it true bacterial cells do not have a nucleus?
Bacterial cells do have a nucleus. Basically all cells have a nucleus! Bacteria cells are just a different shape like plant cells. If cells didn't have a nucleus they wouldn't be able to work properly!

Name some associated genes of human mitochondrial genome?
Some associated genes of human mitochondrial genome are the Eukaryotic cells and the cell nucleus. Mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the mother's ovum.

What two types of cells are different?
Prokaryotic cells - they lack a membrane-bound nucleus Eukaryotic cells - They have a nucleus

What is mtDNA?
MT chromosome, or Mitochondrial chromosomes, are found in the mitochondria of the cell. Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. Although most DNA is packaged in chromosomes within the nucleus, mitochondria also have a small amount of their own DNA.
Which cells in the blood does not have the nucleus?
There are several different cells in the human body that do not have a nucleus. An example of this is a red blood cell, or erythrocyte.
How are prokaryote eukaryotic cells different?
Eukaryote cells have more of a structure in the nucleus.
What must cells have to perform different functions?
It must have a nucleus the nucleus is the brain of the cell
What is one way prokaryotic and eukaryotic different?
Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane bound nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a membrane bound nucleus.
