Chapter 6.5, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
The mitochondrion is rod or double membrane bound organelle or spherical shaped organelle and mostly found in eukaryotic organisms. It contains two membranes namely inner and outer membrane composed of proteins and phospholipids. Due to the presence of double membrane, it differs in the properties. The five distinct parts of the mitochondrion includes outer mitochondrial membrane, intermembrane space, inner mitochondrial membrane, matrix and the cristae.

How many copies of mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene are integrated in Human chromosomal DNA ?
Antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and erythromycin inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria, but have no effect on the synthesis of proteins encoded by eukaryotic nuclear genes. Cycloheximide inhibits the synthesis of proteins encoded by nuclear genes, but has no effect on bacterial protein synthesis. How might these compounds be used to determine which proteins are encoded by mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes?
What is the difference between the cloned animal and nuclear donor in terms of mitochondrial genomes?
