Why mitochonria have their own DNA?
Mitochondria is suspected to have been a unicellular organism that invaded cells. All cells have DNA. The mitochondria then stayed in the cells which explains why there are mitochondria in cells now.
When compared to other cells cells with more mitochondria will be able to?
Mitochondria can replicate themselves. They also have own ribosomes.
2 organelles that contain thereown genetic material?
Chloroplasts in plant cells and mitochondria in animal cells contain their own mitochondria
What two organelles can have DNA?
The two organelles that can have DNA are the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. Mitochondria have their own circular DNA separate from the nuclear DNA, while chloroplasts in plant cells also have their own DNA.
Mitochondria prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Mitochondria are considered to be eukaryotic organelles. They have their own DNA and ribosomes, and are thought to have evolved from engulfed prokaryotic cells in a symbiotic relationship with eukaryotic cells.
Why do scientists believe that mitochondria were separate organisms?
There are several reasons. First, mitochondria have a capsule around them very similar to bacterial capsules. Second, mitochondria are the only organelles in animal cells with their own genetic material. Third, mitochondria replicate themselves. Fourth, mitochondria are genetically similar to some bacteria.
Where are mitochondria constructed?
They are not built. They replicate themselves in cells
Are there mitochondria in an animal cell?
yes both animal and plant cells have mitochondria
What is the role of mitochondria in the syntheseis of molecules?
Mitochondria are the power house of the cells. Mitochondria produce ATP, molecules necessary for energy in every in every cell. Mitochondria are highly independent and seperate on their own on cell division.
What organelles are associated with ednosymbiont theory?
The endosymbiont theory is associated with mitochondria and chloroplasts. It proposes that these organelles originated from primitive prokaryotic cells that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells and formed a symbiotic relationship.
Do trees have a mitochondria?
No, trees do not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles found in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi. Trees belong to the plant kingdom and have their own unique cellular structures called chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
What types of cell are mitochondria found?
Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria (singular mitochondrion).
