mitochondrial DNA
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) A circular ring of DNA found in mitochondria. In mammals mtDNA makes up less than 1% of the total cellular DNA, but in plants the amount is variable. It codes for ribosomal and transfer RNA but only some mitochondrial proteins (up to 30 proteins in animals), the nuclear DNA being required for encoding most of these. Human mtDNA codes for 13 proteins and some RNA. Mitochondrial DNA is generally inherited via the female line only, although there are some exceptions to this (see
heteroplasmy). See also
mitochondrial Eve.
