Function

A chromosome and its packaged long strand of DNA unraveled. The DNA's base pairs encode genes, which provide functions. A human DNA can have up to 500 million base pairs with thousands of genes.

@Kelvinsong: I'm a big fan of interactive images, so I'm fully on board with the use of {{Chloroplast DNA}} etc in this page. However, it might be useful to use {{annotated image}} or {{annotated image 4}} to make it so that it's possible to standardise the format of interactive/annotated images. For example, using the standard "thumb" frame around images, and the inclusion of an icon in the caption to indicate that its interactive (e.g. like the {{chromosome}} image on the right.

time.

What is time and what is its definition? Is it a coordinate or a dimensioned body? Answer please 119.152.122.236 (talk) 15:51, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Lead section

I think the lead section of this article could be improved. I like the first sentence, but the rest goes into the history of the discoveries of the chloroplast DNA instead of providing an overview of the topics that will be covered later in the article. Mf6130 (talk) 19:58, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Rename and split?

I'd prefer plastid genome or plastome (both redirect here) as the title. Not all plastids are chloroplasts, and more significantly not all plastid hosting organisms have chloroplasts. plastid DNA is possible, but DNA as a chemical is universal, and the content is more related to sequence and processing. RNA editing is not strictly speaking about chloroplast DNA, but it does get covered in papers on plastid genomes. If it is retained (it could be split, or moved to the main RNA editing article) that would be a further article in the title referencing genome rather than DNA.

The material on protein synthesis and protein targeting/import is outside the scope implied by the title. My initial thought was a split to plastid proteome, but there are overlaps with protein transport (protein trafficking) and translocon. Lavateraguy (talk) 22:52, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
