Re: [SO-devel] New term suggestion

Instead of 'chloroplast chromosome', call it 'plastid chromosome'.

Having mitochondrial chromosome does make sense. Also consider adding, 
'mitochondrial plasmid', these are extra chromosomal linear/circular 
forms of DNA found in mitos. However here is a problem, e.g. in maize 
out many types of cytoplasm, the one that gives cytoplasmic male 
sterility has part of the mitochondrial genome exists as plasmid, where 
as the one that gives fertile cytoplasm has this fragment integrated in 
the chromosome. How is SO going to distinguish between the two.

In maize there is a big master circle (main chromosome) of the mito 
chromosome, but there are also small sub circles derived from the master 
chromosome. Is there a way to handle this.
