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?
Yes, the majority of a person's mitochondria are inherited from their mother. This is because the mitochondria in the sperm are usually destroyed after fertilization takes place, whereas the mitochondria in the egg are inherited by the offspring.
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.
Do palnt cells have mitochondria?
Absolutely. All multi-cellular organisms cells have Mitochondria.
Are nearly all of the mitochondria in your cells were inherited from your mother?
All mitochondria are from mother.No mitochondria inherit from father
Where do all human get their mitochondria?
Mitochondria are inherited from mother. No from the father

What serves as the control center for cell metabolism?
The mitochondria serves as the control center for cell metabolism. It produces energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration.
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.
Is the mitochondria in all cells?
no
All cells have?
a mitochondria
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.
Does a mitochondria have a plant cell animal cells or both?
Mitochondria are present in both plant and animal cells. They are membrane-bound organelles responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
Do all cells need mitochondria?
Prokariyotes lack the mitochondria. It is needed for aerobic respiration
