Responses

Mitochondria are smaller than nuclei and contain enzymes required for energy production
Mitochondria are smaller than nuclei and contain enzymes required for energy production

The nucleus is the genetic storage organelle, protecting DNA from damage
The nucleus is the genetic storage organelle, protecting DNA from damage

All the DNA material in a cell remains in the nucleus
All the DNA material in a cell remains in the nucleus

Mitochondria need to keep some DNA to replicate independently of the cell to provide energy for the cell division process

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT correct is:

All the DNA material in a cell remains in the nucleus.

This statement is inaccurate because, in addition to the nuclear DNA, mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA) that is involved in encoding some of the proteins required for their function.
