Question

Mitochondrial mutation in saccharomyces biology discussion

Answer 1

Answer:

The mutations in mitochondria in Saccharomyces(the yeast) can happen due to the damage or loss of its mitochondrial DNA to the peptide mutants.

These peptide mutants often lack mitochondrial DNA or they may even possess in abnormal amounts or sometimes the buoyant density may be abnormal. There are some mutants which induce this peptide mutation and they also interfere with mitochondrial DNA synthesis.
