PetiteSmall colony that cannot respire
Disappear in daughter colonies

Why?????This is non-Mendelian inheritance
These traits are determined by genes that reside in chloroplast ( in 4 oclock ) and mitochondria ( in yeast)
5
Mitochondria & chloroplastMitochondria Chloroplast
Sites of the krebs cycle and an electron transport chain. Starting with O2 & carbohydrate, fats => ATP
sites of photosynthesis. Starting with solar energy & CO2 => carbohydrate + O2

Mitochondrial genomes Location: in the matrix Nucleoids: high condensed structure of mtDNAs Cells contain a variable number of mitochondria & nucleoids Replication of mtDNA & division of the mitochondria occur throughout the cell cycle independent of the replication of nuclear DNA & of cell division mtDNAs undergo replication randomly Some molecules replicate many times Others do not replicate9
Mitochondrial genomes The size, gene content and shape of mtDNA vary from organism to organism.Mitochondrial DNA SizesOrganism Plasmodium Yeast Drosophila Pea human Size (kb) 6 75 18 110 16.5
The shape of mtDNAs varies Most species: circular Ciliated protozoans (Tetrahymena, Paramecium), alga Chlamydomonas, yeast Hansenula: linear10

Types of mitochondrial genomesAncestral mitochondria Derived mitochondria
Similar to eubacterial ancestors
Different from typical eubateria
Larger genome size More genes & few introns
Smaller genome size Fewer genes
Use universal codons
Use nonuniversal codons12
Human mtDNA Circular molecule 2 rRNAs 22 tRNAs
13 proteins

Yeast mtDNA Circular molecule 2 rRNAs 25 tRNAs
16 proteins

RNA editing Mitochondrial transcripts undergo RNA editing, a rare variation on the basic theme of gene expression RNA editing is the process that converts pre-mRNAs to mature mRNAs Precursor RNA RNA editing functional mRNA RNA editing occurs in the mitochondria of the following organisms: Trypanosomes (protozoan parasite), add or delete uracils Some plants, add or delete cytosines (mechanism not known)15
Translation in mitochondria shows that the genetic code is not universalMitochondria have their own translational apparatus (rRNA, tRNA, ribosome, genetic code) No single mitochondrial genetic code functions in all organisms.

Chloroplast genomes Location: stroma Shape: circular Genome size is more uniform than the ones of mitochondria, 120 217kb (mostly 120-160kp) More genes than mtDNA. They are closely packed with few nucleotides between adjacent coding sequences Many chloroplast genes are organized into operon-like clusters19

The endosymbiotic theory Mitochondria & chloroplasts were once free-living bacteria that became internal inhabitants (endosymbionts) of early eukaryotic cells With time, the endosymbionts became an integral part of the eukaryotic host cells & evolved into present-day organelles Anaerobic eubacteria mitochondria Photosynthesizing eubacteria chloroplasts
23
24
Evidences for the endosymbiotic theory Mitochondria & chloroplasts are similar in size & have their own DNA which replicates independently of the nuclear genome. mtDNA, cpDNA, bacterial DNA are not organized into nucleosomes by histones Use N-formyl methionine & tRNAfMet for translation Antibiotics inhibit protein synthesis in eubacteria & organelles, but do not affect protein synthesis in the cytoplasm Comparing mtDNA, cpDNA & bacterial rRNA genes suggest: Mitochondria derive from the -proteobacteria Chloroplasts derive from cyanobacteria25
Evolution of mtDNA mtDNA of vertebrates changes almost 5-10 times more rapidly than the nuclear DNA Reflect more errors in replication & less efficient repair mechanism Provide valuable tool for studying evolutionary relationships of organisms whose nuclear DNA are very similar

27
Uniparental inheritance In most species, progeny inherit organelle DNA from only one parent (usually the maternal)
28
Random partition of organelles during cell division
29
Why do most species use uniparental ? Difference in gamete size Cell degrade the organelles or the organelle DNA of male gametes. Early division of the zygote distribution all or most parental organelle genome to cells that are not to become a part of embryo. Details of fertilization prevent a paternal cell from contributing its organelles to the zygote, or zygote destroys the parental organelles after fertilizationOrganelle chromosomes exhibit non-Mendelian pattern of inheritance30
Biparental inheritanceInherit their organelle genomes from both parents
Geraniums (Pelargonium zonale)

Mutations in mitochondria can have very serious effects Mitochondrial mutations affects mostly on tissues that have high energy demands (brain, retinal, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle tissues).
Due to the maternal pattern of mitochondrialinheritance, almost diseases pass down through maternal line.
The proportion of mutant mtDNAs and the tissue inwhich they reside influence phenotype.33
Common features of mitochondrial DNA-associated diseases
34
Lebers hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON)
Cause: mutation in the mtDNA gene encoding subunit 4
of NADH-CoQ reductase. LHON most commonlyassociated with a homoplasmic mitochondrial DNA mutation, although heteroplasmic transmission also
occursLHON is inherited only from the mother. Effect: degeneration of the optic nerve loss of vision35
