Does Chloroplast contain DNA in Eukaryotic Cells?

Answer 1

Yes, Chloroplast DNA is Totally Different from Nuclear DNA.

Mainly from the aspect of functioning, Chloroplast DNA translates for the proteins Needed to Synthesize Photosynthetic pigments and necessary photosynthetic accessories and photosynthetic enzymes,

whereas, Nuclear DNA is responsible for Coding Most of the Other Cellular and Extracellular Functional proteins.

Again, Nuclear DNA is mainly Linear in Shape, while, DNA found in Chloroplast are Circular.

There is Another point to be Stressed upon... The size...

Nuclear DNA is Much More Larger and heavier than Chloroplast DNA.

Finally a lame one-- Unlike the Chloroplast DNA, Nuclear DNA does not code for the proteins necessary for replication of Chloroplast... ;-)

Dear people who are reading this and need answers for either homework your supposed to use a book for or something like maybe you have a job were you need the answer for something like that,

Sorry for the long "dear" but those are really the only reasons your even reading this because if you had a diffrent reason then you would actually quit reading this. I think the answer is yes but you can think as you wish. I know you are wrong if you think something else. Thank you for reading this. I love Dylan C. Braden.

Answer 3

yes.They have circular DNA.They can replicate themselves

Answer 4

Yes, chloroplasts in eukaryotic cells contain their own DNA. This DNA is separate from the nuclear DNA and carries genes essential for chloroplast function and protein production.

Answer 5

the cell itself has dna in the nucleus
