  2. Chloroplast DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroplast_DNA

    Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA), also known as plastid DNA (ptDNA) is the DNA located in chloroplasts, which are photosynthetic organelles located within the cells of some eukaryotic organisms. Chloroplasts, like other types of plastid , contain a genome separate from that in the cell nucleus .

  3. Nuclear gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_gene

    Nuclear gene location. A nuclear gene is a gene that has its DNA nucleotide sequence physically situated within the cell nucleus of a eukaryotic organism. This term is employed to differentiate nuclear genes, which are located in the cell nucleus, from genes that are found in mitochondria or chloroplasts. The vast majority of genes in ...

  4. Chloroplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroplast

    There have been a few recent transfers of genes from the chloroplast DNA to the nuclear genome in land plants. [71] Of the approximately 3000 proteins found in chloroplasts, some 95% of them are encoded by nuclear genes. Many of the chloroplast's protein complexes consist of subunits from both the chloroplast genome and the host's nuclear genome.

  5. Genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome

    A genome sequence is the complete list of the nucleotides (A, C, G, and T for DNA genomes) that make up all the chromosomes of an individual or a species. Within a species, the vast majority of nucleotides are identical between individuals, but sequencing multiple individuals is necessary to understand the genetic diversity.

  6. Nuclear organization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Organization

    However, in order for the cell to function, proteins must be able to access the sequence information contained within the DNA, in spite of its tightly-packed nature. Hence, the cell has a number of mechanisms in place to control how DNA is organized. [4] Moreover, nuclear organization can play a role in establishing cell identity.

  7. Symbiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiogenesis

    (Recounts evidence that chloroplast-encoded proteins affect transcription of nuclear genes, as opposed to the more well-documented cases of nuclear-encoded proteins that affect mitochondria or chloroplasts.) Blanchard, J. L.; Lynch, M. (July 2000). "Organellar genes: why do they end up in the nucleus?". Trends in Genetics. 16 (7): 315–20.

  8. Nucleic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid

    Using amino acids and protein synthesis, [2] the specific sequence in DNA of these nucleobase-pairs helps to keep and send coded instructions as genes. In RNA, base-pair sequencing helps to make new proteins that determine most chemical processes of all life forms.

  9. Circular chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_chromosome

    The crystal structure of the Ter DNA-Tus protein complex (A) showing the nonblocking and the fork-blocking faces of Tus. (B) A cross-sectional view of the helicase-arresting surface. Replication of the DNA separating the opposing replication forks leaves the completed chromosomes joined as ‘catenanes’ or topologically interlinked circles ...
