The somatic cells of a particular plant each contain a total of 40 chromosomes. How do the chromosomes of this plant differ from the chromosomes of humans, who also have a total of 40? O This plant is more like animals than like another plant that has 10 total chromosomes.

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
