Does the y chromosome in the male sex cell have a mitochondria?

No, the Y chromosome in the male sex cell (sperm) does not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are inherited from the mother's egg cell, as they contain mitochondrial DNA. The Y chromosome carries genes that determine male sex characteristics.


What is different between mitochondria and the cell?

Mitochondria have their own genetics, which are separate from the genetics of the cell nucleus. Although they are definitely part of the cell, they also have some of the characteristics of a symbiotic organism.


What are factw about mitochondria and chloroplasts constitution support for the endosymbiont theorym?

There are three characteristics of mitochondria and chloroplasts that support this theory. First, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have two membranes surrounding them. Second, like prokaryotes, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain ribosomes, as well as a circular DNA molecules attached to their inner membranes. Third, mitochondria and chloroplasts are autonomous.

The four stages are : 1) Glycolysis 2) Formation of acetyle CoA (in the mitochondria) 3) Citric acid cycle (in mitochondria) 4) Electron transport and chemiosmosis (in mitochondria)


Is a mitochondria living or nonliving?

There is no yes or no answer to this question, it is the same with the question on whether or not viruses are alive. It is worth mentioning though, that mitochondria are able to respire unlike viruses. They share a few characteristics with living organisms. Mitochondria poses their own DNA, they reproduce and respire. Mitochondria are similar to bacteria in many ways. A good theory on the origin of mitochondria is that a bacteria survived after being engulfed by a larger cell, and formed a mutual symbiosis. If it helps, my personal opinion is that mitochondria are alive, but heavily dependent on a mutual symbiosis of a host cell.
