How are chromosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA inherited differently?

Chromosomal DNA is inherited from both parents via the egg and the sperm.
Since Spermatozoa do not any Mitochondria you get all of your Mitochondria DNA from the Egg. IE your Mum.

How much mitochondrial DNA do humans inherit from their fathers?
None, mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
How are human mitochondria inherited?
Mitochondrial DNA is almost universally inherited from one's mother. I heard of a case of a man in Italy inheriting his mitochondrial DNA from his father, but I consider it likely he was also sterile--if indeed that did occur.
What will always have the same genes as their ancestors?
Mitochondrial DNA will remain the same for generations and they are inherited from the mother.
How can mutations or alterations in the mtDNA be inherited?
Mitochondria are able to replicate by themselves. When mitochondria replicate, a copy of the mitochondrial DNA is present in the daughter mitochondria as well. This is how they are passed on. Edit: Mitochondrial DNA is passed on maternally (ie the mito. that replicate in a new organism are derived from the mother/egg).
What are plasmid genes?
A plasmid is an extra chromosomal DNA molecule separate from the chromosomal DNA which is capable of replicating independently from the chromosomal DNA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmid I think this is far use.
Where do you get your mitochondrial DNA from?
In most organisms, including humans, the mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
How much mitochondrial DNA do humans inherit from their fathers?
None, mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
How does the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA different found in the nucleus of cells?
Mitochondrial dna is inherited solely from the mother.
How are human mitochondria inherited?
Mitochondrial DNA is almost universally inherited from one's mother. I heard of a case of a man in Italy inheriting his mitochondrial DNA from his father, but I consider it likely he was also sterile--if indeed that did occur.
What will always have the same genes as their ancestors?
Mitochondrial DNA will remain the same for generations and they are inherited from the mother.
Do mitochondria lack genetic information?
Mitochondria have mitochondrial DNA inherited through the cytoplasm of the mother.
Where are the 2 places you will find DNA in a cell?
It is found in the nucleus. the nucleus is the brain of the cell
What type of DNA is easiest to collect?
Mitochondrial DNA, because is found in small structures outside the nucleus of a cell and is inherited from the biological mother.
Name some associated genes of human mitochondrial genome?
Some associated genes of human mitochondrial genome are the Eukaryotic cells and the cell nucleus. Mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the mother's ovum.
How can mutations or alterations in the mtDNA be inherited?
Mitochondria are able to replicate by themselves. When mitochondria replicate, a copy of the mitochondrial DNA is present in the daughter mitochondria as well. This is how they are passed on. Edit: Mitochondrial DNA is passed on maternally (ie the mito. that replicate in a new organism are derived from the mother/egg).
When was Mitochondrial DNA - journal - created?
Mitochondrial DNA - journal - was created in 1980.
Who shares your mitochondrial DNA?
Mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother, so the mother's maternal line and all her children share the same mitochondrial DNA.
