All of the mitochondria in a person's cells originally came from the person's mother in the original egg cell. Mitochondria have their own DNA which they replicate before reproducing. The father's sperm cell that fertilized the egg does not contribute any mitochondria to the zygote formed from fertilization. Therefore, mitochondrial DNA comes only from a person's mother.

Give an example of the virus that contain DNA as its genetic material?

How does a blood test connect two siblings with a the same mother?
A DNA sample is extracted from a swab taken from the mouth of each sibling. The resultant DNA 'fingerprints' are compared to a sample fingerprint of the mother's DNA. They should contain half the DNA fingerprint of the birth mother.
Which organelle contains all of your DNA or your entire genetic make-up?
The nucleus. Mitochondria also contain DNA, but not your whole genome. Your mitochondrial DNA comes only from your mother.

What if DNA does not match mothers DNA?
If it does not match, than it is not that persons child.... adoption... or carrying another womans eggs On very RARE occasions a person can be chimeric... and they "Are there own twin" Basically they contain the cells, and therefor DNA for 2 different people... if the DNA making up the uterus and ovaries is not the same as the DNA used for testing, as it usually is not, then the results will show that the mother is not the mother.
What structures contain the cells DNA?
