2 Main Types of Organellar DNA | Cell Biology

The following points highlight the two main types of organellar DNA in cell. The types are: 1. Chloroplast DNA (cp DNA) 2. Mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA). Organellar DNA: Type # 1. Chloroplast DNA (cp DNA): Each chloro­plast contains 20-200 copies of a circular double stranded DNA molecule, which may also be lin­ear as found in maize, cp DNA is characterized [...]
