The code is slightly different. Mitochondrial DNA is a loop of DNA that manufactures RNA, UGA is usually a stop codon, but in the mtDNA of many organisms it is translated as the amino acid tryptophan. In plants, however, UGA is a stop codon in mtDNA.

What is the phylum of mitochondria?

Mitochondria do not have a phylum as they are organelles found within eukaryotic cells. They are thought to have derived from symbiotic bacteria and have their own unique DNA, separate from the cell's nuclear DNA.
