It is thought that the mitochondria were once microorganisms and so have their own DNA.
DNA is responsible for reproduction.Mitochondria have circular DNA.
DNA is present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, where it is organized into structures called chromosomes. In prokaryotic cells, DNA is found in the nucleoid region, which is not enclosed by a membrane-bound nucleus. DNA is also present in organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts.
DNA is in every cell in every one of your organs. Inside the cell, DNA is located in the nucleus and in mitochondria. In plants, it is also present in the chloroplast.
DNA is found in the nucleus of cells in humans. It is also present in small amounts in mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouse of the cell.
In prokaryotes, the cytoplasm contains the DNA. In eukaryotes, there are several (either two or three) organelles that contain DNA: the nucleus, the mitochondria, and in plants and algae the chloroplasts also.

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.

Mitochondria have their own DNA, known as mitochondrial DNA, which is separate from the DNA found in the cell nucleus. This unique feature allows mitochondria to replicate independently of the cell division cycle.
The three organelles that contain DNA are the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. The nucleus contains the largest amount of DNA in the cell.
In the mitochondria
The nucleus and the mitochondria are the 2 cell parts that contain DNA. DNA is located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, while mitochondria have their own separate DNA known as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).
True. Mitochondria contain their own DNA - and the chromosomes present in mitochondria are much smaller than those found in the nucleus (they are much more similar to Prokaryotic chromosomes). Mitochondrial DNA is not involved in the central processes of the cell.
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.
