Difference between Mitochondrial DNA and Nucleic acid

Mitochondrial DNA vs. Nucleic acid

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA or mDNA) is the DNA located in mitochondria, cellular organelles within eukaryotic cells that convert chemical energy from food into a form that cells can use, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Nucleic acids are biopolymers, or small biomolecules, essential to all known forms of life.

Similarities between Mitochondrial DNA and Nucleic acid

Mitochondrial DNA and Nucleic acid have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bacteria, Base pair, Cell nucleus, Chloroplast, Cytosine, DNA, Eukaryote, Gene, Guanine, Mitochondrion, National Center for Biotechnology Information, Plasmid, Ribosomal RNA, Transfer RNA.

Bacteria

Bacteria (common noun bacteria, singular bacterium) is a type of biological cell.

Cell nucleus

In cell biology, the nucleus (pl. nuclei; from Latin nucleus or nuculeus, meaning kernel or seed) is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells.

Cytosine

Cytosine (C) is one of the four main bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine, guanine, and thymine (uracil in RNA).

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Guanine

Guanine (or G, Gua) is one of the four main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, the others being adenine, cytosine, and thymine (uracil in RNA).

Plasmid

A plasmid is a small DNA molecule within a cell that is physically separated from a chromosomal DNA and can replicate independently.

Ribosomal RNA

Ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) is the RNA component of the ribosome, and is essential for protein synthesis in all living organisms.

Transfer RNA

A transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA and formerly referred to as sRNA, for soluble RNA) is an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length, that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins.
