They have thier own DNA and ribosomes.So they replicate themselves
Yes it is true.It can replicate itself
Semiautonomous; Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
The mitochondria in an animal cell provides the energy it needs to move, divide, etc. In other words, they are the power centers of a cell.
Mitochondria are thought to have originated from bacteria that were engulfed by primitive eukaryotic cells in a symbiotic relationship. Over time, these bacteria evolved into organelles within the host cell, becoming mitochondria. This evolutionary event is known as endosymbiosis.
Yes, mitochondria can divide independently from the rest of the cell through a process called fission. This division is similar to binary fission, which bacteria use, and is regulated by specific proteins. Mitochondrial division allows for the maintenance and distribution of these organelles during cell division, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an adequate number of mitochondria.
Cells divide using Mitochondria.
Yes it is true.It can replicate itself
They can't divide by mitosis.

There are several reasons. First, mitochondria have a capsule around them very similar to bacterial capsules. Second, mitochondria are the only organelles in animal cells with their own genetic material. Third, mitochondria replicate themselves. Fourth, mitochondria are genetically similar to some bacteria.
Energy is produced in organelles called mitochondria. These are known as the powerhouses of the cell because they generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through a process called cellular respiration. Mitochondria have a unique double-membrane structure and contain their own DNA.
The DNA given to you by your father contains no other cell organelles. The egg carries the other half of your DNA plus all the organelles. The mitochondria is though to be from a bacteria that "found a home" within the larger cell. Both had an advantage from this arrangement. Since the bacteria had it's own DNA, it kept it. This is the mitochondrial DNA that comes from your mother. Mitochondria divide when they want and replicate their DNA as well.
Mitochondria: As the cell prepares to divide, mitochondria divide to distribute equally in the daughter cells. Chloroplasts: In plant cells, chloroplasts undergo division to ensure each daughter cell receives a sufficient number. Endoplasmic reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum fragments during cell division to distribute evenly in the daughter cells. Golgi apparatus: Golgi apparatus fragments into smaller units to be distributed in daughter cells during cell division. Nucleus: The nucleus undergoes division to ensure each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.
Mitochondria provide the energy a cell needs to move, divide, produce secretory products, contract - in short, they are the power centers of the cell. They are about the size of bacteria but may have different shapes depending on the cell type.
