whispers across the aisle: (its the powerhouse of the cell)
(and mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively from the mother)
SHHHHh teacher is going to hear
Most of the time.
Your mom’s mom
Mitochondria are matrilineal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_DNA#Female_inheritance
Current thought is that mitochondria were smaller lifeforms first “absorbed” by larger more complex cell (alternatively: the mitochondria “hijacked” the larger cell) and live in symbiosis.
Sounds weird, but also, we have more bacteria living in and on our bodies than we have cells with “our own” DNA.
Makes you wonder where we each really start and stop.
Just wait until you read about eyeballs.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN???
rods and cones
I want to read about eyeballs, do you have a recommendation?
oh man
Mom power.
To be honest I’m surprised that looking at this picture the first thing that came to my mind was mitochondria and not amoeba. I don’t even remember the last time I had any lessons about biology.
It’s why it’s the powerhouse of the cell.
all I vaguely remember is osmosis and mitosis
(and my hot biology teacher)
