All mitochondria in our cells are inherited from the mother because they are passed down through the egg during fertilization. The sperm contributes only nuclear DNA and not mitochondria, which are primarily located in the tail of the sperm and do not enter the egg. This maternal inheritance pattern ensures that mitochondrial DNA is maintained across generations, allowing for specific lineage tracking and studies in evolutionary Biology.
