1-the altered dna is used as an enzyme that break down the allregens in peanuts
2-the altered dna is the code for the antibodies against the allergens
3-the altered dna is used to synthesize changed forms of these proteins
4-the altered dna leaves the nucleus and becomes part of the allergy-producing protein

Mitochondrial DNA codes for about 13 proteins (depending on the species of organism)?

Mitochondrial DNA codes for about 13 proteins (depending on the species of organism). These 13 proteins account for a small proportion of the proteins present in mitochondria. The remaining proteins are coded for by nuclear DNA. What is the most likely explanation for how these proteins find their way to the mitochondria?
