The advantages of keeping some DNA needed by mitochondria in the cell’s nucleus and some in the mitochondria itself - are as follows:

Mitochondrial DNA is the small circular chromosome present inside the cell organelle called mitochondria used for energy production. This type of DNA passes from the mother to the offspring. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has several advantages over nuclear DNA (nDNA):

for species identification purposes
including a higher copy number
a lack of sequence ambiguities from heterozygous genotypes
a faster rate of mutation
Thus, the advantages of keeping some DNA needed by mitochondria in the cell’s nucleus and some in the mitochondria itself are given above.

The advantage of keeping some DNA needed by mitochondria in the cell’s nucleus and some in the mitochondria itself is that it allows for greater flexibility in the cell. The nucleus can control the expression of the mitochondrial genes, allowing the cell to respond quickly to changes in its environment.
