Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) is located in the mitochondria, which are organelles responsible for producing energy in cells. mtDNA is inherited maternally and contains genes that encode for some of the proteins involved in the electron transport chain, which is responsible for ATP synthesis. It does not transport amino acids or copy segments of the genetic code for protein manufacture, and it is not located in the nucleus.
