mitochondria is part of a cell or inside of it so, yes, it is obviously smaller

Is it True or false that chromosomes which carry genes are found in the nucleus of the cell?
True. Mitochondria contain their own DNA - and the chromosomes present in mitochondria are much smaller than those found in the nucleus (they are much more similar to Prokaryotic chromosomes). Mitochondrial DNA is not involved in the central processes of the cell.
Is there DNA in the mitochondria?
Yes, there is DNA in mitochondria.
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Two of the cellular organelles that have their own DNA are chloroplast and a nucleus. The mitochondrion also have there own DNA.
What is speciality of DNA in plants mitochondria?
They are different than plants. They are circular in shape
What is extrachromosomal replicon?
+other than chromosomal DNA is known as extra chromosomal DNA like plasmids, mitochondria and chloroplast containing DNA.

What is the mitochondria in?
DNA
What organelles contain dna?
Nucleus,chloroplast,mitochondria,plasmidsthe mitochondria and chloroplast.DNA is found in the nucleus.DNA is generally located in the nucleus of a cell. There is some DNA in the mitochondria although there is significantly more DNA in the nucleus.In animal cells, DNA can be found in the nucleus and mitochondria of cells. In plant cells, DNA can be found in the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplast.
What is related to mitochondria?
It is thought that mitochondria were once bacteria as they have their own DNA and it is similar to bacterial DNA.
Is a chromosome smaller than DNA?
Chromosomes are made of DNA coiled around protein histones. So no, chromosomes are not smaller, but they are more condensed then when the DNA is unwound in strand form.
Did mitochondria divided?
Mitochondria can replicate themselves.They have circular DNA.
Is DNA found in the mitochondria of cells?
Yes it is located in mitochondria.
Why mitochondria have DNA?
They desend from bacteria.So they have their own DNA
