Mitochondrial Inheritance

Mitochondria are organelles found in the cytoplasm of cells. Mitochondria are unique in that they have multiple copies of a circular chromosome. Mitochondria are only inherited from the mother’s egg, thus only females can transmit the trait to offspring, and however they pass it on to all of their offspring. The primary function of mitochondria is conversion of molecule into usable energy. Thus many diseases transmitted by mitochondrial inheritance affect organs with high-energy use such as the heart, skeletal muscle, liver, and kidneys.
