Abstract
Mitochondria from all organisms studied to date have their own mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), distinct from that of the nucleus. Animal mtDNA carries the genetic information for two rRNAs, a complete set of tRNAs and only a few essential components of the respiratory complexes: three subunits of the cytochrome oxidase (COI, COII and COIII), the cytochrome b (Cyt b), the subunits 6 and 8 of the Fo ATPase complex and several subunits of the NADH dehydrogenase (ND1-ND6 and ND4L). In addition, each molecule contains a control region in which signals of DNA duplication and transcription are included (for a review see Wolstenholme, 1993).
