hii..yes there is a d loop in mt DNA ..in vertebrates that are metabolically active , a large portion of the Mt DNA duplexes have a short 3 stranded structure,.which is called as the displacemnet loop or d loop..the d loop is bounded by genes for tRNA phe and tRNA pro...this d loop is used in molecular phylogeny to look for polymorphisms as it is a variable region in many related species..

what about it? I know some, but I don't know what you're asking.
I've seen a d-loop in mRNA, that is, messenger RNA. I haven't seen a d-loop in mitochondrial DNA.

ya.. what aobut it?
Having taken genetics I could help you.. but what are u looking to know about it?
by the way- Mitochondrial DNA is cicular, not double helical, stemming from some foreign prokaryotic ancestor who most likely parasitized primitive eukaryotic cells.. cool huh? its how we date humans and find out generational information
