What is the obesity gene that is expressed in fat cells and codes for a hormone-like protein that researchers have identified known as?
The obesity gene that researchers have identified is known as leptin-E100. This was the first fat cell protein to be discovered.
How does the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA different found in the nucleus of cells?
Mitochondrial dna is inherited solely from the mother.
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.
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.
In eukaryotic cells the Krebs cycle occurs in the .?
The Kreb's cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, which have no mitochondria, the Kreb's cycle occurs in the cytoplasm.
What is the obesity gene that is expressed in fat cells and codes for a hormone-like protein that researchers have identified known as?
The obesity gene that researchers have identified is known as leptin-E100. This was the first fat cell protein to be discovered.
Which organelles are responsible for making most of the cells ATP?
the Mitochondrial.
Which cell organelles are responsible for making the cells ATP?
the Mitochondrial.
What has the author Roberto Scatena written?
Roberto Scatena has written: 'Advances in mitochondrial medicine' -- subject(s): Mitochondrial pathology, Mitochondrial Diseases, Effect of drugs on, Cells, Mitochondria, Physiology
Where does the electron transport occur in eukaryotes cells?
Inner mitochondrial membrane
What are the two types of DNA in the in the eukaryotic cells nuclear and mitochondrial?
Yes
What is the function of the sperm cells mitochondrial spiral?
Producing energy APEX
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.
How does the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA different found in the nucleus of cells?
Mitochondrial dna is inherited solely from the mother.
What do researchers do with embryonic stem cells?
Researchers use embryonic stem cells to study diseases such as Parkinson's. They can be used to develop cures.
What takes place within mitochondrial membrane?
ATP is produced for use by cells
What takes place within the mitochondrial membrane?
ATP is produced for use by cells
