Which statement is NOT correct when comparing mitochondria with the nucleus and the role DNA plays for both organelles.(1 point) 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

1 answer

The statement that is NOT correct is:

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

This statement is incorrect because, while the nucleus contains the majority of the cell's DNA (nuclear DNA), mitochondria also contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which is involved in the coding of genes necessary for mitochondrial function and energy production.
