Petite yeast mutants are caused by defects in this structure.
The ⢸rst approved U.S. clinical trials using CRISPR ("crisper"), due to start in 2017, will edit this structure. This structure is abnormally small in Plasmodium, and in trypanosomes (trih-PAN-oh-sohmz), it is organized into several maxicircles interlocking thousands of minicircles. Petite yeast mutants are caused by defects in this structure. Haplogroups are distinguished by genes on the Y chromosome or on this structure. In humans, cytochrome c oxidase and only 36 other genes are encoded by this structure, which is circular and encodes the gene responsible for Leber's optic neuropathy. The hypothetical origin of this structure's genetic information is named Eve because its genes are only inherited maternally. For 10 points, what non-nuclear genetic material is found in the organelle where cellular respiration takes place?
