===Mitochondrion and kinetoplast DNA===
{{Main|Kinetoplast}}
The kinetoplast, after which the class is named, is a dense DNA-containing granule within the cell's single mitochondrion, containing many copies of the mitochondrial [[genome]]. The structure is made up of a network of concatenated circular DNA molecules and their related structural proteins along with [[DNA polymerase|DNA]] and [[RNA polymerase]]s. The kinetoplast is found at the base of a cell's flagella and is associated to the flagellum [[basal body]] by a [[Cytoskeleton|cytoskeletal]] structure.{{cn|date=March 2023}}
