Which is an accurate description of organelle genomes? (Select all that apply. ) A)Translation in mitochondria and chloroplasts is often inhibited by bacterial antibiotics (e.g. , chloramphenicol). B)Like bacteria, mitochondria use N-formyl methionine and tRNA^fmet in translation. C)mtDNA and cpDNA are usually organized into nucleosomes by histones. D)Like bacterial genes, mitochondrial and chloroplast genes do not have introns. E)Like bacterial genomes, mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes in all species consist of one circular DNA molecule.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have similarities to bacteria, such as sensitivity to certain antibiotics and the use of N-formyl methionine in translation. However, mtDNA and cpDNA are not organized into nucleosomes by histones, and they can have introns. Additionally, not all mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes are a single circular DNA molecule.
