What else can I help you with?
Are nearly all of the mitochondria in your cells were inherited from your mother?
All mitochondria are from mother.No mitochondria inherit from father
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).
Are nearly all mitochondria in your cells inherited from your mother?
Mitochondria is present in the cell cytoplasm...it is usually the egg which contributes most of the cytoplasmic contents to the zygote.. hence mt is inherited frm the egg.. otherwise called extranuclear or maternal inheritance.
Where is mitochondria in male?
Mitochondria are found in the cytoplasm of all cells, including those of males. They are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration. Mitochondria are inherited maternally and are present in both male and female cells.
Why is the mitochondrial DNA in the cells of offspring the same as the mitochondrial DNA in the offspring mother?
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited exclusively from the mother because the mitochondria in the sperm are typically destroyed during fertilization. This means that all the mitochondria in the developing embryo come from the egg cell. As a result, the offspring's mtDNA is a direct maternal lineage, reflecting the genetic material passed down from the mother.

Where do all human get their mitochondria?
Mitochondria are inherited from mother. No from the father

Why all your mithochondria are from mother?
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.
Why do humans only inherit mitochondrial genes only from their mother.?
Because all our mitochondria are descended from those in our mother's egg cells.
Do palnt cells have mitochondria?
Absolutely. All multi-cellular organisms cells have Mitochondria.
All cells have?
a mitochondria
Is the mitochondria in all cells?
no
Why mitochonria have their own DNA?
Mitochondria is suspected to have been a unicellular organism that invaded cells. All cells have DNA. The mitochondria then stayed in the cells which explains why there are mitochondria in cells now.
