What does mitochondrial DNA code for?
Mitochondrial DNA codes for 13 mitochondrial proteins, 16S and 12S rRNA and 22 tRNAs
How does the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA different found in the nucleus of cells?
Mitochondrial dna is inherited solely from the mother.
Is there a cell in humans that don't have DNA?
No. Not all cells have a nucleus, which contains nuclear DNA; but all cells have mitochondria, which have their own DNA, called mitochondrial DNA, or mDNA. In humans, the cells that lack a nucleus and therefore nuclear DNA, are mature red blood cells, but they do have mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA.
When DNA profiling is carried out the second DNA sample the one not collected at the crime scene is called the?
mitochondrial sample
What is mtDNA?
MT chromosome, or Mitochondrial chromosomes, are found in the mitochondria of the cell. Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. Although most DNA is packaged in chromosomes within the nucleus, mitochondria also have a small amount of their own DNA.
When was Mitochondrial DNA - journal - created?
Mitochondrial DNA - journal - was created in 1980.
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.
What does mitochondrial DNA code for?
Mitochondrial DNA codes for 13 mitochondrial proteins, 16S and 12S rRNA and 22 tRNAs
Where do you get your mitochondrial DNA from?
In most organisms, including humans, the mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
How much mitochondrial DNA do humans inherit from their fathers?
None, mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
How does the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA different found in the nucleus of cells?
Mitochondrial dna is inherited solely from the mother.
Which is larger Human mitochondrial DNA or yeast mitochondrial DNA?
Yeast's is (~78kb), while human's is about 17kb
What does chloroplast DNA resemble?
It resembles mitochondrial DNA
Mitochondrial DNA is replicated independently from nuclear DNA?
Yes
What will damage in mitochondrial DNA have the most effect on?
Damage in mitochondrial DNA will have the most effect on cellular respiration. This is due to the fact that the surface area will be damaged.
Difference between mitochondrial DNA and Nuclear DNA in term of contents?
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.
Why does the mitochondrial disease exist?
It exists because the DNA in mitochondria is duplicated without the checkpoints that nuclear DNA duplication has. Mitochondrial DNA disorders may occur spontaneously and relatively often.
