Defects can involve seizures, movement disorders , headaches , and cognitive (thought) disorders such as developmental delay or dementia (forgetfulness, senility). People with mitochondrial myopathies can also have hearing loss

When do the symptoms of mitochondrial myopathies caused by nDNA mutations usually develop?

Generally, nDNA mutations result in clinical symptoms that develop during early childhood, while mtDNA mutations (either directly or as secondary effects from a nDNA mutation) lead to clinical manifestations that develop in late childhood


Why defects in crystals are called thermodynamic defects?

Defects in crystals are called thermodynamic defects because they influence the overall energy or thermodynamic properties of the crystal lattice. These defects can affect the stability, entropy, and other thermodynamic properties of the crystal structure. They are considered in the context of thermodynamics as they impact the equilibrium state and behavior of the crystal material.


What has to be present for Pyruvate to enter the mitochondria?

The mitochondrial membrane has special transporter proteins which are needed to transport pyruvate. This transport also requires ATP.


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).


How is mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) typing used in forensic science?

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) typing is used in forensic science to analyze genetic material found in samples that may be degraded or limited, such as hair, bones, or teeth, where nuclear DNA is often unavailable. Since mtDNA is maternally inherited and present in multiple copies per cell, it allows for the identification of individuals or maternal lineages. This technique is particularly valuable in cold cases or situations where traditional DNA testing fails. Additionally, mtDNA can help in identifying remains in mass disasters or historical contexts.
