Which of following statement is incorrect regarding mitochondria?
Options
- AMatrix possesses single ds circular DNA molecule and ribosomes of 70S type.
- BSite of aerobic and anaerobic respiration
- COuter membrane forms the continuous limiting boundrary of the organelle, while inner membrane is folded into c
- DMitochondria divide by fission like division to increases its number.
Correct answer
