p.1 right column bottom paragraph:"In most human cells, mitochondria contain 10^3–10^4 copies of a circular genome of 16,569 base-pairs that encodes two ribosomal RNAs, 22 tRNAs, and 13 polypeptides that form parts of the respiratory-chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane [primary sources]." |
