Mitochondria are little loops of DNA in each cell of the body. They are self replicating, which means the cell itself does not create them. There is no code for them in the cell's nuclear DNA.
Mitochondria are passed on directly from mother to child. Males cannot pass them on.
Basically, they are microscopic hitch-hikers. The animal really doesn't have any control of how many they have.
