Mitochondrial DNA is contained within the same space as the machinery of oxidative phosphorylation. Why is this potentially a disadvantageous place for it to be? a. The enzymes of oxidative phosphorylation can also break down DNA b. Side reactions with intermediates of oxidative phosphorylation can cause confusion. c. The mitochondria is a small organelle and the constrained space can damage the DNA. d. Reactive oxygen species formed during oxidative phosphorylation can damage the DNA at a much higher rate than nuclear DNA.
