What is mitochondrial genomes?

The DNA found in mitochondria, which are cellular organelles found in eukaryotic cells that transform chemical energy from food into a form that cells can utilise, such as adenosine triphosphate, is known as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA or mDNA)](ATP). Only a small amount of the DNA in a eukaryotic cell is contained in the mitochondria; the majority of the DNA is found in the cell nucleus and, in plants and algae, also in plastids like chloroplasts.

The first large portion of the human genome to be sequenced was mitochondrial DNA.

According to this sequencing, the human mtDNA contains 16,569 base pairs and codes for 13 proteins.

Animal mtDNA serves as a cornerstone of phylogenetics and evolutionary biology because it evolves more quickly than nuclear genetic markers .

Why CO2 still being produced for a few minutes after death?

valentina_108 [34]

Explanation:

As best as anyone can gauge, cell metabolism likely continues for roughly four to 10 minutes after death, depending on the ambient temperature around the body.

During this time period, oxygenated blood, which normally exchanges carbon dioxide with oxygen, is not circulating. Thus, cell respiration—which uses oxygen to make cellular energy while creating carbon dioxide as a by-product—creates carbon dioxide that is not transported out of the cell. This lowers the pH of the cell, resulting in an acidic intracellular environment. This acidic environment causes intracellular membranes to rupture—including those around the cell's lysosome, which contains enzymes for digesting everything from proteins to fats and nucleic acids. Once the membranes have burst, these enzymes are released and begin to digest the cell from the inside out. This process is known as autolysis (or self-digestion).

If the stem of a plant is bent or snapped, why does the part above the bend usually die, even if it is propped up with a support

mezya [45]

Plants have a vascular system (analogous to ours) made of Xylem, cells which bring nutrients from the roots to the leaves, and Phloem, cells that move sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant. when you bend or snap the stem, these "veins" can be broken, and will no longer transfer nutrients to and from the upper part of the plant, even standing the stem back up will not reconnect these. and, like cutting off circulation to your hand, the part not receiving nutrients will soon shrivel and die.
