Document Summary

Modern chlamy cells have three different genomes. 16kb in mitochondria and 200kb in chloroplast. Circular genomes in chloroplast (since it evolved from a free living prok) Nucleus has 120,000kb in chlamy and 17 linear chromosomes. A couple 100kb in a typical chloroplast genome and far less than that in the chloroplast. The environment inside the nucleus is different than the environment in the organelles. In order from smallest to largest genome: mitochondria
