Mitochondrial DNA is only a small portion of the DNA in a eukaryotic cell; most of the DNA can be found in the cell nucleus and, in plants and algae, also in the plastids, like chloroplasts. In humans, the 16,569 base pairs of mitochondrial DNA encode for only 37 genes. Human mitochondrial DNA was the first significant part of the human genome to be sequenced. In most species, including humans, mtDNA is inherited solely from the mother.
Mitochondrial DNA only has one chromosome, and this is organized like a circular genome (similar to most prokaryotic DNA). This single chromosome is much shorter, and codes for the specific proteins which are used in the metabolic processes mitochondria undertake (i.e., fatty acid metabolism, citrate acid cycle, ATP synthesis).
