Genetic Evolution
Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how gene…

Step 1

Introduction:

Mitochondria are cellular entities that turn dietary energy into usable energy for cells. In the cytoplasm of the cell, there are several mitochondria. Although most DNA is housed in the nucleus' chromosomes, mitochondria have a little amount of DNA of their own. This genetic material is referred to as mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA. Mitochondrial DNA in humans comprises roughly 16,500 DNA building blocks (base pairs) and makes up a minor percentage of total DNA in cells.
