What reads the DNA sequence? mitochondria messanger codon reading RNA messanger RNA (mRNA)

toga:

DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), and the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA molecule is used to determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein during the process of translation. The codons in the mRNA sequence (not messenger codon) are read by ribosomes, which are the cellular machinery responsible for translating the mRNA sequence into a protein. Mitochondria, on the other hand, have their own DNA and use it to produce essential proteins for their own function, but they do not directly read the DNA sequence of the cell's nuclear DNA.
