WHAT DOES KINETOPLAST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Kinetoplast

A kinetoplast is a network of circular DNA inside a large mitochondrion that contains many copies of the mitochondrial genome. The most common kinetoplast structure is a disk, but they have been observed in other arrangements. Kinetoplasts are only found in protozoa of the class Kinetoplastida. The variation in the structures of kinetoplasts may reflect phylogenic relationships between kinetoplastids. A kinetoplast is usually adjacent to the organism's flagellar basal body, suggesting that it is tightly bound to the cytoskeleton.

Definition of kinetoplast in the English dictionary

The definition of kinetoplast in the dictionary is a small granular cell body close to the nucleus in some flagellate protozoans Also called: kinetonucleus,.
