The cellular metabolic process whereby new strands of DNA are synthesized. The template for replication can either be an existing DNA molecule or RNA. The chemical reactions and pathways involving mitochondrial DNA. The process whereby new strands of DNA are synthesized, using parental DNA as a template for the DNA-dependent DNA polymerases that synthesize the new strands. Any process that decreases the rate, frequency or extent of the process whereby new strands of DNA are synthesized in the mitochondrion. Any cellular metabolic process involving deoxyribonucleic acid. This is one of the two main types of nucleic acid, consisting of a long, unbranched macromolecule formed from one, or more commonly, two, strands of linked deoxyribonucleotides. Any process that modulates the rate, frequency or extent of the process whereby new strands of DNA are synthesized in the mitochondrion. The process whereby new strands of DNA are synthesized in the mitochondrion. Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of the process whereby new strands of DNA are synthesized in the mitochondrion. The maintenance of the structure and integrity of the mitochondrial genome; includes replication and segregation of the mitochondrial chromosome.
