Yes, but mitichondrial DNA is passed directly from the mother, because sperm contain very few organelles to make them more streamlined and likelier to reach the egg, so the mitchondria only resides in the cytoplasm of the egg, making everyone's mitochondrial DNA an exact copy of their mothers. Mitochondrial DNA typical resides longer in bones, making it easier to trace through history.
