Mitochondria are bioenergetic, biosynthetic, and signaling organelles in eukaryotes, and
contain their own genomes, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), to supply energy to cells by …

The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a closed circular molecule that encodes, in humans, 13
polypeptides components of the oxidative phosphorylation complexes. Integrity of the …
