Actually mitochondria is Semi-autonomous because mitochondrial replication is controlled by the cell.
Mitochondria retain only a portion of their genome. Another, larger, portion of its genome has been moved to the cell nucleus. Thus the reproduction is under the nucleus' control. This coordinates mitochondrial reproduction by responding to cell division and cellular physiological stresses, but not by the mitochondria's control. However the exact pathway for mitochondrial biogenesis is yet to be worked out.
The gene transfer theory of endosymbiosis:
Gene transfer from the mitochondrion into the nucleus
What else can I help you with?
Why mitochondria are autonomous?
Autonomus mean they can self replicate.Thats because they have their own DNA.
What 2 organelles contain their own DNA besides the nucleus?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the two organelles that contain their own DNA in addition to the nucleus. This DNA is separate from the nuclear DNA and is involved in the organelles' functions, such as energy production in mitochondria and photosynthesis in chloroplasts.
What are autonomous cell organlles?
these are the mitochondria and chloroplasts and it is because they have their own DNA, mRNA, tRNA, ribosomes and they replicate by binary fission so they are said to be self governing. Semi autonomous means they want to leave but they are in a symbiotic relationship with the cell and have evolved to become part of it.
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Mitochondria DNA is circular, similar to bacterial DNA, and is inherited maternally. Chloroplasts also have circular DNA and are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient prokaryotes.
What are factw about mitochondria and chloroplasts constitution support for the endosymbiont theorym?
There are three characteristics of mitochondria and chloroplasts that support this theory. First, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have two membranes surrounding them. Second, like prokaryotes, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain ribosomes, as well as a circular DNA molecules attached to their inner membranes. Third, mitochondria and chloroplasts are autonomous.
Are mitochondria smaller than DNA?
Yes, mitochondria are typically smaller than DNA. Mitochondria are organelles found in cells that produce energy, while DNA is the genetic material that carries instructions for the cell's functions. Mitochondria are visible under a microscope, whereas DNA is much smaller and contained within the cell's nucleus.
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.
Does DNA have mitochondria?
No, DNA does not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are structures found within cells that have their own DNA, separate from the DNA found in the cell's nucleus. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy for the cell.
Which organelles contain DNA?
The nucleus and mitochondria are organelles that contain DNA. The nucleus contains the majority of the cell's DNA, while mitochondria have their own independent DNA apart from the cell's nuclear DNA.
What is the mitochondria in?
DNA
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.
Do mitochondria have linear DNA, or is their genetic material organized in a different way?
Mitochondria have circular DNA, not linear DNA like the DNA in the nucleus of a cell.
