Yes, mitochondria can replicate themselves through a process similar to binary fission, which is how bacteria reproduce. This replication is regulated by the cell's needs for energy, and it typically occurs in response to increased energy demands. Mitochondria contain their own DNA, allowing them to produce some of the proteins necessary for their function and replication independently of the cell's nuclear DNA.
