Does DNA from the cell’s nucleus affect the mitochondria?

0

Yes. DNA from the nucleus also affects mitochondrial function, so some mitochondrial disorders are inherited according to the same rules as are other genetic disorders. Most mitochondrial proteins aren’t made in the mitochondria but come from genes in the cell’s nucleus. These nuclear proteins are later imported into the mitochondria, where they too help with energy production.
