Medical Genetics Mitochondria are extremely small (from.002-008 millimeters in length) rice-shaped structures whose details can only be seen with the electron microscope

Medical Genetics Mitochondria are often called the powerhouses"of the cell because they are the site where sugar is broken down to release the energy required for cellular functions

Medical Genetics A cell may have hundreds or even thousands of mitochondria depending on the particular cell's need for energy.( For example, the average human liver cell contains more than a thousand mitochondria.)

Medical Genetics In addition to containing the many proteins needed to control the energy release process, the mitochondria also contain a small amount of dna that is used to direct the manufacture of thirteen of the proteins needed for its activities

Medical Genetics If there is a mutation in a mitochondrial gene, it is passed from a mother to all of her children sons will not pass it on, but daughters wil pass it on to all of their children, and so on
