Nuclear DNA is the information molecule of an organism. It has all the codes for all the proteins our body can make. Mitochondrial DNA however is mainly involved in replication of mitochondria organelle. Main job of mitochondria is the energy production in cell.

What are the main difference between mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA's?

The ribosomes of chloroplasts closely resemble bacterial ribosomes, while mitochondrial ribosomes show both similarities and differences that make their origin more difficult to trace.


What part of cell that double membrane that forms the boundary between the nuclear contents and the cytoplasm?

The part of the cell is called the nuclear envelope, which consists of two lipid bilayer membranes that enclose the nucleus. It controls the movement of molecules in and out of the nucleus, regulating communication between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.


What are the difference between fission and nuclear?

That's like asking what is the difference between a potato and a plant. Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms to release binding energy. Nuclear is the overall concept that structure and energy of the atom is contained within the nucleus.This answer assumes, by virtue of the category the question was placed in, that the intended topic is nuclear physics, and not biology, to which it could just have as easily been applied.


What is mass defect associated with?

Mass defect is associated with nuclear reactions and nuclear binding energy. It refers to the difference between the measured mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons. This difference is released as energy when the nucleus is formed.


Difference between mitochondrial DNA and Nuclear DNA?

Unlike nuclear DNA, whose genes are rearranged in the process of recombination, there is usually no change in mtDNA from parent to offspring. Because of this, and the fact that the mutation rate of mtDNA is higher than that of nuclear DNA and is easily measured, mtDNA is a powerful tool for tracking matrilineage, and has been used in this role for tracking the ancestry of many species back hundreds of generations. Human mtDNA can also be used to identify individuals. == ==

What is the key difference that allows us to distinguish between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

The key difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion is the process by which they release energy. Nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller nuclei, while nuclear fusion involves combining light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus.
