Mitochondria, (singular Mitochondrion) are found in eukaryotic cells. (Amoeba, and cells which make up larger organisms such as plants and animals). They are like a cell's batteries and generate the chemical adenonsine triphosphate (ATP) which is the primary chemical we use to get energy in the body (breaking the bond which holds it together, releases energy).
What else can I help you with?
Does mitochondrial DNA contain introns?
Yes, mitochondrial DNA does not contain introns. Mitochondrial DNA is a circular molecule that lacks introns, which are non-coding regions found in nuclear DNA.
How does the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA different found in the nucleus of cells?
Mitochondrial DNA is only inherited from the mother, while nuclear DNA is inherited from both parents. Mitochondrial DNA is circular and does not undergo recombination, whereas nuclear DNA is linear and can recombine during meiosis. Mitochondrial DNA codes for a small number of genes related to energy production, while nuclear DNA contains genes that determine various traits and characteristics.
Is mitochondrial DNA linear or circular in structure?
Mitochondrial DNA is circular in structure.
What does mitochondrial DNA code for?
Mitochondrial DNA codes for certain proteins that are essential for the function of the mitochondria, the cell's powerhouse. It also contains genes involved in energy production through oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial DNA is separate from the nuclear DNA and is passed down maternally.
Where in a cell is DNA found?
DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotes or in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. The DNA forms complex strands known as chromatin, and when dividing, chromosomes.
Does mitochondrial DNA contain introns?
Yes, mitochondrial DNA does not contain introns. Mitochondrial DNA is a circular molecule that lacks introns, which are non-coding regions found in nuclear DNA.
Where is DNA found in the eukryote cell?
There are two kinds of DNA in a eukaryotic cell, nuclear and mitochondrial. Nuclear is found in the nucleus and mitochondrial is found in the mitochondria. However, not as many people know about mitochondrial DNA and the only time it is ever refered to is when you are tracking the mother's side of a family with DNA. So for the most part, DNA is found in the nucleus.Eukaryote DNA is located in the nucleus of the cell.
What do chloroplasts and mitochondrial have that orgenelle lack?
70s ribosomes are found. Circular DNA can be found
How does the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA different found in the nucleus of cells?
Mitochondrial DNA is only inherited from the mother, while nuclear DNA is inherited from both parents. Mitochondrial DNA is circular and does not undergo recombination, whereas nuclear DNA is linear and can recombine during meiosis. Mitochondrial DNA codes for a small number of genes related to energy production, while nuclear DNA contains genes that determine various traits and characteristics.
What are the two types of DNA in the in the eukaryotic cells nuclear and mitochondrial?
The two types of DNA found in eukaryotic cells are nuclear DNA, which is located in the cell nucleus and carries the majority of genetic information, and mitochondrial DNA, which is found in the mitochondria and is responsible for regulating the functions of the mitochondria.
what is Organelles found in?
DNA is mainly found in the nucleus of the cell. Of course, it can also be found in other organelles such as the mitochondria (therefore it is called mitochondrial DNA).
When was Mitochondrial DNA - journal - created?
Mitochondrial DNA - journal - was created in 1980.
Is mitochondrial DNA linear or circular in structure?
Mitochondrial DNA is circular in structure.
Who shares your mitochondrial DNA?
Mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother, so the mother's maternal line and all her children share the same mitochondrial DNA.
Where is DNA found in eukaryote?
stop using the computer and look inside your notes!
Is there DNA in the mitochondria?
Yes, mitochondria have their own DNA separate from the nuclear DNA found in the cell's nucleus. This mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is circular in structure and contains genes responsible for mitochondrial function and energy production.
Where do you get your mitochondrial DNA from?
In most organisms, including humans, the mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
