In most eukaryotes mitochondria replicate and fuse all the time; they don't have to replicate during the cell cycle.

In cells that have only one mitochondrion (like kinetoplastids) mitochondria follow the same replication process as the cells (G1, S, G2 and M phases).

Which cellular organelles replicate in the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Organelles such as the mitochondria and the chloroplasts replicated in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This is so that when the cell divides, no parts are lost.


Why is DNA present in mitochondria of a cell?

It is thought that the mitochondria were once microorganisms and so have their own DNA.


How are mitochondria specialized?

Mitochondria are specialized in energy production through aerobic respiration, converting glucose and oxygen into ATP. They have their own DNA and replicate independently of the cell cycle. Mitochondria also play a role in regulating cellular metabolism and apoptosis.


When does the mitochondria replicate?

It replicates in the cell division.It occurs in G1 phase.


Does mitochondria replace itself in the cell?

They have their own DNA.So they can self replicate.


What do mitochondria have that most other organelle dont have?

Mitochondria have their own DNA, known as mitochondrial DNA, which is separate from the DNA found in the cell nucleus. This unique feature allows mitochondria to replicate independently of the cell division cycle.


What phase of mitosis are mitochondria made?

It all depends on which organism you are talking about and there is no set phase.In many single-celled eukaryotes, their growth and division is linked to the cell cycle.In single cell algae. the only chloroplast and then the only mitochondrion divide before the nucleus undergoes mitosis and before cytokinesis.In other eukaryotes (in mammals for example), mitochondria may replicate their DNA and divide mainly in response to the energy needs of the cell, rather than in phase with the cell cycle. If it does replicate with the cell cycle, it can occur during the S phase of the mitotic cycle and even through out the mitotic cycle.It all depends on which organism you are talking about and there is no set phase.In many single-celled eukaryotes, their growth and division is linked to the cell cycle.In single cell algae. the only chloroplast and then the only mitochondrion divide before the nucleus undergoes mitosis and before cytokinesis.In other eukaryotes (in mammals for example), mitochondria may replicate their DNA and divide mainly in response to the energy needs of the cell, rather than in phase with the cell cycle.

When does DNA replicate during the cell cycle?

DNA replicates during the S phase of the cell cycle.


Can mitochondria and chloroplasts reproduce within the cell?

Mitochondria produce lots of energy, infact they are known as the power houses of the the cell, however chloroplasts capture the duns energy and turn it into food, chloroplasts also split water and release oxygen


Where in the cell Krebs cycle occur?

Mitochondria


At what specific stage of the cell cycle does DNA replicate?

DNA replicates during the S phase of the cell cycle.


Where does TCA cycle occur in the cell?

TCA cycle occur in the mitochondria (the power house of the cell)
