Solution:
Difference between the nuclear DNA and the mitochondrial DNA are as follows
:
1. Nuclear DNA is double stranded and linear whereas mitochondrial DNA is
double stranded and circular.
2. Nuclear DNA is enveloped by nuclear membrane whereas mitochondrial DNA is
not enveloped by the membrane.
3. Nuclear DNA codes for all the proteins required for its function whereas
mitochondrial DNA is a semi-autonomous organelle.
4. Nuclear DNA has tight binding of histones while mitochondrial DNA do not
possess such binding.
