A genetic trait in multicellular organisms in which only genotypically mutant cells exhibit the mutant phenotype. eg. a transcription factor is usually cell autonomous.
Conversely, a cell non-autonomous trait is one in which genotypically mutant cells can be rescued to wildtype phenotype by neighbouring genotypically wildtype cells. eg. A signalling factor will often have non-autonomous effects.
There is also the very rare case of domineering non-autonomy in which genotypically mutant cells cause other cells (regardless of their genotype) to exhibit a mutant phenotype. eg. in types of polarity, where a mutant cell sends an incorrect polarity signal to the neighboring wildtype cell.

Why mitochondria and chloroplasts are reffered to as cell encaptured bacterium?
because duffers it originated as a cell encaptured bacterium and because the MRNA content in mito and chloroplasts is aruond 1 to 3 % therefore they cant synthesise some of their proteins so they are refferd as semi autonomous and if they could make all of their required proteins they would be called as fully autonomous or simply autonomous
Why mitochondria and chloroplast are called semi autonomous organelles?
Semi-autonomous because mitochondrial replication is controlled by the cell. Mitochondria retain only a portion of their genome. Another, larger, portion of its genome has been moved to the cell nucleus. Thus the reproduction is under the nucleus' control. This coordinates mitochondrial reproduction by responding to cell division and cellular physiological stresses, but not by the mitochondria's control. However the exact pathway for mitochondrial biogenesis is yet to be worked out. The gene transfer theory of endosymbiosis: Gene transfer from the mitochondrion into the nucleus
What is the role of the cell?
basically help other particles and substances perform their jobs.
What does it mean to be autonomous?
self rule a.k.a independence thank you thank you *bows down*
Why are mitochondria and plastids called semiautonomous membrane?
Mitochondria and Plastids are called semi-autonomous because thy have have their own genome (DNA) ,and are therefore self replicating and can live without the cell mechanism.
What does autonomous mean?
The word "autonomous" means self-directing, self-governing ,or independent.
What does autonomous region mean?
An autonomous region has its own separate freedom and rules. Even if it is within another country, an autonomous region does not follow the countries rules.
What does the phrase more autonomous research mean?
No answer
What does an autonomous religion mean?
An autonomous religion would be one that had no ruling body above it. Self-ruling. An autonomous church is independent of an hierarchy that enforce rules upon it.

What does an autonomous culture mean?
In an autonomous culture, individuals determine for themselves what is right and wrong, moral relativism. The United States describes themselves as an "autonomous culture", one reason why the culture in America is collapsing.
What is non-cell autonomous?
cell-autonomous: A genetic trait in multicellular organisms in which only genotypically mutant cells exhibit the mutant phenotype. Conversely, a nonautonomous trait is one in which genotypically mutant cells cause other cells (regardless of their genotype) to exhibit a mutant phenotype.

Why mitochondria are autonomous?
Autonomus mean they can self replicate.Thats because they have their own DNA.
What part of speech is autonomous?
"Autonomous" is an adjective.
What is autonomous institutions?
advantages of autonomous institutions
