Difference between Mitochondrial DNA and Species

Mitochondrial DNA vs. Species

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). In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.

Similarities between Mitochondrial DNA and Species

Mitochondrial DNA and Species have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bacteria, Cytochrome c oxidase, DNA, Drosophila, Eukaryote, Evolution, Genetic recombination, National Center for Biotechnology Information, Sexual reproduction.

Bacteria

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

Cytochrome c oxidase

The enzyme cytochrome c oxidase or Complex IV, is a large transmembrane protein complex found in bacteria, archaea, and in eukaryotes in their mitochondria.

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.

Drosophila

Drosophila is a genus of flies, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or (less frequently) pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many species to linger around overripe or rotting fruit.

Eukaryote

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, unlike Prokaryotes (Bacteria and other Archaea).

Evolution

Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

Genetic recombination

Genetic recombination (aka genetic reshuffling) is the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent.

National Center for Biotechnology Information

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is part of the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is a form of reproduction where two morphologically distinct types of specialized reproductive cells called gametes fuse together, involving a female's large ovum (or egg) and a male's smaller sperm.

Mitochondrial DNA and Species Comparison

Mitochondrial DNA has 209 relations, while Species has 193. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 2.24% = 9 / (209 + 193).
