Are mitochondria smaller than DNA?
mitochondria is part of a cell or inside of it so, yes, it is obviously smaller
Does DNA have mitochondria?
The mitochondria have its own DNA. They are referred to as the powerhouse of a cell and are responsible for converting the energy from food into a form that cells can use.
What eukaryotic cell structure contains its own DNA?
The mitochondria in animal and plant cells and the chloroplasts in just plant cells. There is some talk about the centrioles having their own DNA, but, unlike the other organelles mentioned, no DNA from the centrioles has been isolated or sequenced.
Does a nucleus contain its own DNA?
No, it has DNA in it but not its own.
What organelle contains its own DNA options are A Nucleus B Chloroplast C Mitochondria D All of these?
All of them have. They can replicate themselves
Contains its own DNA and ribosomes?
Mitochondria
In humans is the nucleus the only compartment organelle that contains DNA?
No, the mitochondria also has its own DNA.
What organelle can be found in DNA?
i think its in the nucleus
What contains their own DNA which encodes some of their proteins?
Chloroplasts; Mitochondrion
What contains its own DNA and is believed to have come from the incorporation of prokaryotic cell into a eukaryotic cell millions of years ago?
The mitochondria contains it's own circular DNA that still codes for some proteins.The chloroplasts of plant also contain circular coding DNA.
Are mitochondria smaller than DNA?
mitochondria is part of a cell or inside of it so, yes, it is obviously smaller
What is a cell or organism that contains foreign DNA inserted into its own genetic material called?
Transgenic

What organelle contains its own DNA and ribosomes?
Mitochondria because it's a separate bateria that somehow merged with the cell's in a mutualistic form. All lifeform have it's own DNA in order to reproduce. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are enclosed by membranes, thery are not part of the endomembrane system. Their membrane proteins are made not by the ER, but by free ribosomes in the cytosol and by ribosomes contained within the mitochondria and chloroplasts themselves. Not only do these organelles have ribosomes, but they also contain a small amount of DNA. It is this DNA that programs the synthesis of the proteins made on the organelle's own ribosomes.
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.
Which best describes transduction in bacteria?
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
