Can mitochondrial DNA cause disorders in humans?
For many patients, mitochondrial disease is an inherited condition that runs in families (genetic). An uncertain percentage of patients acquire symptoms due to other factors, including mitochondrial toxins.It is important to determine which type of mitochondrial disease inheritance is present, in order to predict the risk of recurrence for future children. The types of mitochondrial disease inheritance include:DNA (DNA contained in the nucleus of the cell) inheritance. Also called autosomal inheritance. If this gene trait is recessive (one gene from each parent), often no other family members appear to be affected. There is a 25 percent chance of the trait occurring in other siblings.If this gene trait is dominant (a gene from either parent), the disease often occurs in other family members. There is a 50 percent chance of the trait occurring in other siblings.MtDNA (DNA contained in the mitochondria) inheritance.There is a 100 percent chance of the trait occurring in other siblings, since all mitochondria are inherited from the mother, although symptoms might be either more or less severe.Combination of mtDNA and nDNA defects:Relationship between nDNA and mtDNA and their correlation in mitochondrial formation is unknown
What are the three types of dominance in modern gnetics?
The three types of dominance in modern genetics are, single gene inheritance, multifactual and mitochondrial. Other types are dominant and recessive genes.
What is the middle of the mitochondrion called?
mitochondrial matrix
How much mitochondrial DNA do humans inherit from their fathers?
None, mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
How are fossils dated and how does this relate to phylogenetic trees?
There are many different methods of dating fossils including their geological stratum and carbon dating. Phylogenetic trees are dated by their geological stratum because they have something called the COI gene that shows they have roots from a long time ago.
How was the identification of nDNA mutations that cause mitochondrial myopathies first made?
first made when a nuclear gene involved in mtDNA replication was found to be defective in a disorder involving a patient with a mitochondrial myopathy
What does a tattoo of a coi fish mean?
A coi fish is a symbol of masculinity and power. In Asian cultures coi fish were respected for their ability to swim up waterfalls. Colors have varying meanings as well. The Japanese covet all white coi with a red dot on the head, giving the coi the look of the rising sun on the Japanese flag. A coi tattoo displays strength and respect, and overall sweetness. Kowabanga!!
What is coi nage?
reade
Where are the enzymes of the Krebs cycle located?
Matrix of the mitochondria
Why the mitochondria is not genetically autonomous even it has own DNA?
Actually mitochondria is Semi-autonomous because mitochondrial replication is controlled by the cell. Mitochondria retain only a portion of their genome. Another, larger, portion of its genome has been moved to the cell nucleus. Thus the reproduction is under the nucleus' control. This coordinates mitochondrial reproduction by responding to cell division and cellular physiological stresses, but not by the mitochondria's control. However the exact pathway for mitochondrial biogenesis is yet to be worked out. The gene transfer theory of endosymbiosis: Gene transfer from the mitochondrion into the nucleus

What do baby coi fish look like?
Baby coi look brown when they first hatch. They start getting their color a few weeks later.
