[QUOTE="TeethWhitener, post: 6336063, member: 511972"] [URL]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_DNA[/URL] There are 37 genes in human [URL="https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/when-did-mitochondria-evolve/"]mitochondria[/URL]l DNA across ~16500 base pairs, which code for 13 proteins necessary for oxidative phosphorylation. For comparison, nuclear DNA in humans has 3 billion base pairs, coding for 20000 proteins, with the vast majority of the DNA being non-coding (regulatory sequences, etc.). [/QUOTE]
