Which of the following is not a characteristic of mitochondria?

Options

  1. APossess single circular ds DNA
  2. BContain 80 S ribosome
  3. CHave their own specific enzymes
  4. DProduce new mitochondria

Correct answer

B. Contain 80 S ribosome

Step-by-step solution

Mitochondria possess their own circular DNA (mtDNA) which can replicate independently. mIDNA can produce its own mm RNA and protein and some of the enzymes required for functioning. They can produce new mitochondria by division or binary fission from pre-existing mitochondria. Mitochondria also have their own ribosomes but they are of 70 S type like that of prokaryotes.
